Summary
Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania have successfully demonstrated quantum networking over commercial Verizon fiber-optic cables using standard Internet Protocol (IP), marking the first time quantum signals have been transmitted outside laboratory settings using existing internet infrastructure. The breakthrough, published in Science, shows that fragile quantum states can be maintained over real-world fiber networks, potentially paving the way for practical quantum internet applications.
