A network of 200 people where security is built on a synchronized photon dance: the provider only points to the turnstile, but never sees the password.

Two photons, like conspirators, always exit through the same door. This quantum trick allowed scientists to connect 200 people in a secure network spanning 200 km. Even if the provider is the enemy, they won't learn the secrets. Soon, city-wide quantum networks will become a reality.

🎯 The effect that makes photons 'march in step' was first demonstrated in 1987 by [scientist:Leonard Mandel]Leonard Mandel[/scientist] and colleagues. It works only for fully indistinguishable particles—the slightest imperfection breaks the synchronization. Today, this same trick underpins quantum teleportation and computing.
