Quantum Internet May One Day Be Possible Through Optical Cavities Caltech Scientists Say
New research from experts at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) suggests atoms in small boxes of light — optical cavities — could soon “form the backbone technology” of the futuristic internet that relies on the mysterious properties of quantum mechanics for ultra-fast computing. Unlike computing devices like phones and laptops which store information as binary bits of zeros and ones, quantum computers use a unit of memory known as a quantum bit or qubit....
