Summary
Researchers at the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) in Barcelona have achieved a groundbreaking feat. This unprecedented accomplishment demonstrates the ability to share information in real time.
Entangled states are then stored using multiplexed quantum memories to increase the efficiency and probability of this process. Using photons in the telecom wavelengths guarantees that quantum teleportation can be implemented into the present fiber-optic-based telecommunications architecture.
This work lays the unprecedented ground for building secure quantum communication networks anywhere at light speed. I am observing that the experiment provided high fidelity and teleportation rates over several kilometers, indicating that long-distance quantum communication can efficiently be added to the current communication network.
