Chicago scientists are testing an unhackable quantum internet in their basement closet
From The Washington Post: A 124-mile fiber-optic network runs from the University of Chicago on Chicago’s South Side to two federally funded labs in the western suburbs that are collaborating on the research — Argonne National Laboratory and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The team behind the network is using photons to dispatch encryption keys through the network, to see how well they travel through fibers that pass under highways, bridges and toll booths. Read More
