There is a fair (read: large) amount of engineering work still to be done before this comes to a RealWorldTM near you, but scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology have taken three big strides towards working quantum networks with discoveries that will enable quantum bits to be transmitted and detected over normal telecoms networks.

The problem is that the ideal wavelength for quantum storage is much shorter than that for efficient information transmission. By sending the quantum si

Woo. Another step towards quantum networking.
Personally I don't know if this is worth doing. I thought that they were working on ftl communication with quantum entanglement. But this is still pretty neat. They could use this for datacenters and not so much long distance comunication but short range.
like in city use.
