Scientists Race To Establish the First Links of a 'Quantum Internet'

ananyo writes "Two teams of researchers — once rivals, now collaborators — are racing to use the powers of subatomic physics to create a super-secure global communication network. The teams — one led by Jian-Wei Pan at the University of Science and Technology of China, the other by his former PhD supervisor Anton Zeilinger of the University of Vienna — have spent the last 7 years beating each other's distance records for long-distance quantum-teleportation. They now plan to create the first intercontinental quantum-secured network, connecting Asia to Europe by satellite."

Pardon my ignorance, but are you implying that "patents half the shit patented each year" and "invents half the shit invented each year" are the same thing?

In the jpegs, the girl will be simultaneously clothed and nude at the same time.

Yes. But the big problem with quantum porn is that it's hot and nasty; until you actually look at it, then they are always fully clothed and sitting around talking about how men objectify them.

Let the be light
