Government Lab Reveals It Has Operated Quantum Internet For Over Two Years | MIT Technology Review

Astonishing.

One of the dreams for security experts is the creation of a quantum internet that allows perfectly secure communication based on the powerful laws of quantum mechanics.

Their approach is to create a quantum network based around a hub and spoke-type network. All messages get routed from any point in the network to another via this central hub.
