A laser pulse lasting one and a half nanoseconds hits a nonlinear crystal, and a stream of squeezed light is born. That is how an experiment on the Jiuzhang 4.0 quantum processor in China begins.

A city signal bounces between walls like a ball, and your phone catches dozens of its 'reflections'—echoes. Each microsecond of delay adds 300 meters to the path. The signal's speed is constant, like that of light (speed of light).
