The first is to make sure quantum information sent over current fiber optic cables is secure. Then to establish entangled networks across colleges or cities, then throughout states, and finally for the whole country.<\/p>\n<p>But what exactly is quantum internet? There is no real clear meaning beyond \u201csending quantum signals back and forth,\u201d and there are a few ways to go about doing it.<\/p>\n<p>In February 2020, the Department of Energy announced they had sent two entangled photons over two separate 42 kilometer fiber optic loops and had verified they were still correlated when they returned. They hailed it as a milestone on the way to developing a national quantum internet.<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeboat.com\/blog\/2020\/10\/what-would-a-quantum-internet-look-like\">Continue reading \u201cWhat Would a Quantum Internet Look Like?\u201d | &gt;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this episode, we\u2019re tackling the question that\u2019s on everyone\u2019s minds: what will it take to have quantum internet in our home? \u00bb Subscribe to Seeker! http:\/\/bit.ly\/subscribeseeker \u00bb Watch more Elements! http:\/\/bit.ly\/ElementsPlaylist \u00bb Visit our shop at http:\/\/shop.seeker.com A quantum internet is in the works.
