Such is the promise of secure quantum communication, and has been since it was \u2018almost ready\u2019 starting in the 1990s.<\/p>\n<p>For quantum communication to become the standard, technical challenges still lie ahead. To make progress toward devices that can send and receive quantum data, researchers at Stanford University have created a novel quantum light source.<\/p>\n<p>The physics of quantum communication is admittedly complex. Standard lasers are actually not useful for secure communication because they emit what is called \u201cclassical\u201d light. Data eavesdroppers could extract any data being carried via classical light without detection. In contrast, a quantum Internet would be based on \u201cquantum\u201d light, in which a single unit of light \u2014 a single photon \u2014 cannot be measured without being destroyed. Therefore, an efficient source of quantum light would enable perfectly secure communication.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.science20.com\/news_articles\/how_to_improve_internet_security_20th_century_radio_technology-164439\" target=\"_blank\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quantum Internet \u2014 this has been in development and testing for a while now at Los Alamos and I am looking forward to it been expanded to the commercial sector.
