Since the 1850s, we've been laying cables across oceans to become better connected. Today, there are hundreds of thousands of miles of fiber optic cables constantly transmitting data between nations.

Quantum computers run at temperatures just a hair above absolute zero. And keeping them humming along at these temps requires ...

An curved arrow pointing right. Computer science Professor Paul Barford and a team of researchers recently published the first publicly available map of the US's long-haul fiber-optic cable network.

Creating hybrid networks is challenging because quantum data is often transmitted through fiber-optic cables using entangled photons. Entanglement occurs when two qubits — the most basic units o ...
