KEY POINTS
  • The Trump administration’s 2021 budget request contains $237 million in funding to support quantum information research.
  • Quantum information science harnesses the behavior of particles to make calculations in fundamentally new ways.
  • Prototype networks exist in New York and Chicago, and researchers are developing the new technologies needed to create longer links.

how exactly is quantum internet going to be a thing when quantum computing is barely a thing?

quantum computing is a LOOOOOONG way off, even for the purposes of breaking something like 512 bit stream cipher encryption.

Y'all seen how alphazero completely demolishes stock fish in chess :lupe:

These computers getting smarter every day in how they think and process information in ways we can't even fathom. Already far superior thinkers than we are. It'll reach a point we'll let them do all the thinking for us.

The Truth
I think IBM has a quantum computer you can interact with online already.

They are also trying to use Quantum computers now to hopefully create a cure for the virus.

ive never heard of quantum internet though.
