Physicists at HarvardResearch have demonstrated the first metro-area quantum computer network in Boston, marking significant progress towards the development of a 'quantum internet.' This breakthrough, described as the most advanced yet, involves generating quantum entanglement over optical fibers across three real cities, which could revolutionize communication by enabling quantum computers to communicate and preventing transmissions from being hacked. The research, published in Nature, highlights the entanglement of nanophotonic quantum memory nodes in a telecom network.
