Posted August 07, 2012 10:50 AM

From Phys.org - Latest Science and Technology News Stories:

With all the talk of quantum computers, little notice has been made of work on what is known as a quantum Internet, which is where data is sent across a web of computers via devices that work at the quantum, rather than atomic level, thereby increasing the speed of the whole system. The holdup at this point is in creating devices capable of routing such information. Now it appears that a team of physicists working from Tsinghau University in China have proven that it's possible to do so. They have, as they describe in the paper they've uploaded to the preprint server arXiv, built a working quantum router capable of routing one cubit.
