U.S. hatches plan to build a quantum Internet that might be unhackable
The new network would sit alongside the existing Web, offering a more secure way to send and process information
U.S. officials and scientists unveiled a plan Thursday to pursue what they called one of the most important technological frontiers of the 21st century: building a quantum Internet.
Speaking in Chicago, one of the main hubs of the work, they set goals for forging what they called a second Internet โ one that would function alongside the globeโs existing networks, using the laws of quantum mechanics to share information more securely and to connect a new generation of computers and sensors.
Quantum technology seeks to harness the distinct properties of atoms, photons and electrons to build more powerful computers and other tools for processing information. A quantum Internet relies on photons exhibiting a quantum state known as entanglement, which allows them to share information over long distances without having a physical connection.
David Awschalom, a professor at the University of Chicagoโs Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and senior scientist at Argonne National Laboratory, called the Internet project a pillar of the nationโs quantum-research program.
โItโs the birth of a new technology. Itโs becoming a global competition. Every major country on earth has launched a quantum program โฆ because it is becoming clearer and clearer there will be big impacts,โ he said in an interview.
