Quantum Computing<\/a> is not just about building lightening-fast qubit-based computer processors, it includes the transmission of qubit information between other quantum processors and across quantum networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quantum networking is facilitated by a phenomenon called entanglement. Entanglement occurs when the state of particular particles in a group cannot be described independently without also considering the state of the other particles of the group. Entanglement is unique to quantum computing and does not occur in classical physics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xie Chen<\/a>, associate professor of theoretical physics at Caltech, said that<\/a> \u201cwhen particles are entangled, it\u2019s as if they are born that way, like twins. Even though they might be separated right after birth, [they\u2019ll] still look the same. And they grow up having a lot of personality traits that are similar to each other.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spyridon Michalakis<\/a>, physicist at Caltech, said that <\/a>\u201cthe particles act together like a single object whose identity lies not with the individual components but in a higher plane. It becomes something larger than itself. Entanglement is like a thread that goes through every single one of the individual particles, telling them how to be connected to one another.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entanglement facilitates encryption because permissions to other users can only be allowed when when the users share entangled particles. Albert Einstein called it<\/a> “spooky action at a distance.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matteo Pompili<\/a>, PhD student, said that<\/a> “a quantum internet will open up a range of novel applications, from unhackable communication and cloud computing with complete user privacy to high-precision time-keeping. And like with the Internet 40 years ago, there are probably many applications we cannot foresee right now.”<\/p>\n
