Summary:
-
Successful Trial
Qunnect Inc. tested a quantum network prototype in a 34-kilometer fiber loop in New York City, operating for 15 days with a 99.84% uptime and 99% fidelity in entangled photon pairs. -
Innovative Technology
The network used polarization-entangled photons and automated polarization compensation devices to handle polarization drift and noise, crucial for maintaining entanglement over long distances. -
Future Potential
This demonstration is a step towards a practical quantum internet, with Qunnectβs technology showing significant progress towards a fully automated entanglement network.
