      Researchers at Northwestern University have achieved a significant milestone by successfully demonstrating quantum teleportation using a fiber optic cable that also carries regular Internet traffic. This innovation simplifies the potential integration of quantum and classical communications, offering a path toward shared infrastructure. The experiment proved that quantum information could be transmitted alongside conventional data without interference, promising more efficient and secure communication technologies. This breakthrough suggests that quantum communication could be integrated with existing Internet infrastructure, eliminating the need for dedicated networks and simplifying the technology required for quantum computing and sensing applications.

      >Only limited by the speed of light, quantum teleportation could make communications nearly instantaneous.

      Isn’t traditional Fibre optic cable already near light speed? Even if it’s faster, teleportation =/= lightspeed.

      Can’t wait for bs internet cable advertising, like “this one teleports bits even *faster*” lmao

      Quantum teleportation is a fancy way of saying they transmitted and received a signal via fiber optic cable. It wasn’t even a single, or quantum photon, so the title is not only misleading, but it is wrong.

      Can’t wait to get my quantum sub-neural temporal thermonuclear fusion powered modem so I can surf Reddit with 0ms response time.
