Silicon Carbide Holds Promise for Building High-Speed Quantum Internet

Scientists at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology have “rediscovered” a material that could be the basis for ultrahigh-speed quantum Internet. In their paper published in the journal npj Quantum Information, they have demonstrated a strategy to increase the rate of data transfer in unconditionally secure quantum communication lines to over 1 Gbps, rendering the speed of quantum Internet comparable to its classical equivalent.
