NASA to Demonstrate Self-Healing Quantum Communications Tech

Quantum, quantum, quantum. Everywhere I go, there it is.

So, here’s another interesting article that I discovered that shows things are getting pretty serious here.

PhotonicsMedia reported that…

An experiment launching to the International Space Station later this year could provide the building blocks for a future global quantum network. Called the Space Entanglement and Annealing Quantum Experiment (SEAQUE), it involves a milk-carton-size device that will test two communications technologies in space.

Space-based nodes that receive and transmit quantum data from the ground via free-space optical communications will be a key part of the infrastructure required for quantum computers and sensors to communicate with one another. SEAQUE is designed to prove the viability of technologies that may enable orbiting nodes to securely connect quantum transmitters and receivers over great distances.

To do so, the nodes will need to produce and detect pairs of entangled photons. Eventually, transmitting such photons to quantum computers on the ground could enable quantum cloud computing.

The rest of the article is too techie but this segment is enough to help us understand that quantum technology is already part of our lives.

Is Quantum the next big thing?

It’s not only NASA that invested in quantum technology.

This is a field with significant action during the last years.

Quantum computers can solve problems way faster than classical machines and they have applications in any industry.

I believe there’s room for improvements in our communication systems that are somewhat slow and lack quality.

I wonder how fast they communicate on other planets.

For marketing professionals and business owners, quantum technology will be a breakthrough.

We’ll be able to improve our targeting, reduce the number of advertisements we produce, broadcast our messages in front of the right people at the right time, deliver content in unique ways, and so much more, and eventually, help make the internet and the traditional offline environment a better place.

We’ll keep an eye on this technology, it’s very promising.

The signs of a new economic era are pretty clear.

That’s it, another article has finished, here on Web Market Support. I am waiting for your comments and thoughts. Till next time.
