As If Fiber Wasn't Already Cool Enough...

With the quantum internet, data is teleported from one location to another, just like in Star Trek. Beam me up, Netflix!

Scientists are working on something called the "quantum internet". The technology is like something from a sci-fi flick, but the bottom line is that a phenomenon called "quantum entanglement" using photons of light would allow an internet that's much faster and more secure than the one we have today.

Of course, photons are right at home in fiber optics, although theoretical lasers through the air could achieve similar results.

No doubt we'll soon hear BIG CABLE touting it's own version of quantum internet that works on 30-year old copper...
