The Quantum Internet Is Coming. Here’s What It Actually Means

The quantum internet is poised to revolutionize global communication by harnessing quantum mechanics, offering unparalleled security through quantum encryption and enabling lightning-fast data transfer via entangled particles. Unlike today’s binary-based internet, which transmits data as 0s and 1s, this next-generation network uses quantum bits (qubits) and phenomena like entanglement to process and share information, promising transformative advancements in computing, cryptography, and connectivity.
