And, this is what has actually been published publically to boot.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>\n<em>Hacked<\/em> recently <a href=\"https:\/\/hacked.com\/the-chinese-quantum-satellite-quess-toward-unbreakable-quantum-networks\/\">covered<\/a> the efforts of the Chinese government to build unbreakable quantum communication networks. According to analysts, quantum communications networks are so expensive that they could have a \u201crecentralizing effect,\u201d enabling states to recover the ground that they have lost to decentralizing digital technologies. But what if ultra-secure quantum cryptography could be made available to everyone at low cost?<\/p>\n<p>European researchers at the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO), Instituci\u00f3 Catalana de Recerca (ICREA), and other research labs, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icfo.eu\/newsroom\/news\/article\/3235\" target=\"_blank\">have developed<\/a> a fast random number generator based on a quantum mechanical process that could deliver the world\u2019s most secure encryption keys in a package tiny enough to use in a mobile device.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve managed to put quantum-based technology that has been used in high-profile science experiments into a package that might allow it to be used commercially,\u201d says ICFO researcher Carlos Abellan in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.osa.org\/en-us\/about_osa\/newsroom\/news_releases\/2016\/new_chip_could_bring_highest_level_of_encryption_t\/\" target=\"_blank\">a press release<\/a> of the Optical Society of America (OSA). \u201cThis is likely just one example of quantum technologies that will soon be available for use in real commercial products.
