I'm a bit confused. What are they sending over the wire exactly? I thought the whole point of quantum communication is you use entanglement to instantly send from point A to point B, and there is no wire?
- layer8 1y agoEntanglement doesn’t allow instant communication, you can’t beat the speed of light, and you still need a communication channel.
