New Entanglement Results Hint at Better Quantum Codes

A team of physicists has entangled three photons over a considerable distance, which could lead to more powerful quantum cryptography. The post New Entanglement Results Hint at Better Quantum Codes first appeared on Quanta Magazine

This month, three scientists won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their work proving one of the most counterintuitive yet consequential realities of the quantum world. They showed that two entangled quantum particles must be considered a single system — their states inexorably intertwined with each other — even if the particles are separated by great distances. In practice...
