Quantum internet
Appearance
The quantum internet is a proposed network architecture in which quantum nodes are linked by Quantum Entanglement rather than classical signals. It would enable Quantum Teleportation between distant nodes, distributed quantum computing, and cryptographic protocols that are information-theoretically secure. The architecture relies on quantum repeaters to overcome distance limitations and quantum channels to transmit photons. Unlike the classical internet, which moves copies of data, the quantum internet moves quantum states — destroying them at the source and reconstructing them at the destination.
The quantum internet is not a faster version of what we have. It is a different kind of network for a different kind of information.
