The device generates pairs of entangled photons at a record rate—45 billion per second—consuming just milliwatts of power. The purity of the quantum connection exceeds 96%. Its tiny size and efficiency bring quantum internet, secure satellite links, and ultra-precise sensors closer to reality.

For the first time, single atoms were reliably linked over long optical fiber, and a secret code was extracted from their 'conversation'. Any eavesdropping attempt instantly destroys the pair — not a trick, but a property of the quantum world. This protection scheme turns any interception into a bla
