- The UK universities of Bristol and Cambridge have been collaborating on quantum-safe networking developments
- They have achieved live, quantum-secure transfer of encrypted medical data, secure remote access to a distributed datacentre and the world’s first long-distance quantum secured video call.
- It’s the first time a long-distance network using different quantum-secure technologies (including entanglement) has been successfully demonstrated.
- The work is the foundation for a large-scale quantum internet that could connect quantum nodes and devices through entanglement and teleportation on a global scale
In what is being described as “remarkable achievement”, research scientists at two renowned British universities, Bristol and Cambridge, have demonstrated the UK’s first ultra-secure transfer of data over a quantum communications network. The demo, announced by the universities in this press release, also included the country’s first long-distance quantum-secured video call.
