Quantum Networking

by Rodney Van Meter ...

Quantum networks build on entanglement and quantum measurement to achieve tasks that are beyond the reach of classical systems. Using quantum effects, we can detect the presence of eavesdroppers, raise the sensitivity of scientific instruments such as telescopes, or teleport quantum data from one location to another. Long-distance entanglement can be used to execute important tasks such as ... Read more

What Big Tech Doesn't Want You to Know About Your Data, Your Privacy, and Your Future

by David Jones ...

I remember the exact moment the illusion shattered. I was sitting in a conference room watching a product manager present a feature that would increase user engagement by 12%. The room applauded. I felt sick. Everyone in that room understood what the feature would do, even if no one said it out loud. It would keep people scrolling longer, clicking more, and giving us more data. We called it ... Read more
