Quantum Communication

Quantum communication research applies the laws of quantum physics to protecting and transmitting data in a secure and effectively unhackable manner. To do this, quantum communications systems exploit the phenomenon of quantum entanglement, in which two particles can be so inextricably connected that any action on one particle instantly influences the second, no matter how far apart they are. This kind of quantum encryption has applications in fields such as computing and finance.
