Researchers are developing quantum internet, a technology that is faster and more secure than traditional WiFi, compatible with existing infrastructure.

Researchers are working on a revolutionary technology, quantum internet, which could replace traditional WiFi routers. This communication network is based on the principles of quantum mechanics, using superposition and entanglement of particles to transmit information quickly and securely. Quantum internet promises to surpass the current limitations of the internet, offering higher speeds and enhanced protection against cyber attacks.

Quantum routers can detect any intrusion attempts, thus increasing the security of the connection compared to classic WiFi. Although researchers at Harvard University and companies like QuEra Computing and Amazon Web Services are working on promising projects, the technology is still in its early stages and is not ready for commercial use. Quantum routers will be compatible with existing fiber optic infrastructure, and installation in homes may require a low investment, but the timing of the commercial launch remains uncertain.
