Researchers have made a breakthrough in quantum communication, successfully sending entangled photons with other data over a long distance. This achievement could lead to more efficient networks. A major challenge in quantum communication is transmitting fragile signals, and this research addresses that issue.

Further details are available from the source, including the potential for more scalable and cost-effective networks. The research was led by a professor from the Physics Department.

The distance over which the data was transmitted is notable, and the use of existing fibre infrastructure is a key aspect of the research.
