The Rochester Quantum Network helps pioneer future communications

Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear. I’m Fred Fishkin     An experimental quantum communications network is now linking researchers at the Rochester Institute of Technology and the University of Rochester.  The network is using optical fibers and has the potential to massively improve security.  RIT Professor Stefan Preble says the hope is that this is just the start…“So we envision, just like the Internet, that eventually, one day, we’ll be linking all of these initial small networks together into a networks that goes across the entire United States, maybe one day the entire world.”And University of Rochester Professor Nick Vamivakas adds quantum computing may change the world in many ways…“ So there’s lots of things we don’t know about the world because the computers we have right now just aren’t able to simulate them, they’re too complicated.”The Rochester Quantum Network  was developed with support from the Air Force Research Laboratory.You can find us at Techstination.com.   I’m Fred Fishkin.
