"Our result says that, in principle, we can engineer 'rain gutters' and 'gates' in a system to manipulate quantum objects, either after they land or during their actual flow."
From stationary to flying qubits at speeds never reached before…. This feat brings us a little closer to the era when information is transmitted via quantum principles.
"We hope this technology could be used to extend the range of communication, and one day lead to impenetrable privacy between two communicating parties."
China recently launched a satellite into orbit with a unique feature: it has the ability to send information securely, not with mathematical encryption, but by using the fundamental laws of physics.
