Toshiba Demonstrates Breakthrough in Long-distance Quantum Communications
CAMBRIDGE, England, June 10, 2021 — Toshiba’s Cambridge Research Laboratory demonstrated quantum communications over optical fibers exceeding 600 km in length. The work leverages a technique called dual-band stabilization, and it marks a significant advance in quantum-encrypted communication, particularly for the secure transfer of information between metropolitan areas. How to transmit quantum bits over long optical fibers is among the challenges in building a quantum internet; small changes in ambient conditions,
Marine Luminescence Appears After Stress Test
CAMBRIDGE, England, July 31, 2020 — No matter how small, organisms respond to their surrounding environment. A group of scientists at the University of Cambridge has shown that the light produced by ocean organisms is related to the stress their cells are under at the time. The team,...
