Engineers Send Quantum Signals with Standard Internet Protocol

As researchers successfully transmitted quantum signals using standard Internet Protocol, the discussion erupted into a lively debate about the intricacies of quantum communication. Some commenters poked fun at the achievement, joking that it must have used IPv4 or that the messages would take decades to arrive, while others expressed enthusiasm for the breakthrough. A key point of contention was clarified by the author, who explained that entanglement doesn't enable instant communication, but rather prevents undetected eavesdropping, a nuance that many seemed to appreciate. The conversation ultimately revealed a deeper understanding of the experiment's significance, with one commenter highlighting the potential for routing quantum data without disturbing it.
