"Quantum Step Forward in Protecting Communications from Hackers"

A quantum-based method to securely transmit encrypted information along communication lines has been demonstrated by researchers at the University of York. The quantum-based technique could possibly be used to avoid the vulnerabilities of current communication systems. This article continues to discuss the vulnerability of standard communication systems to hacks, current problems associated with quantum mechanics, and the quantum-based procedure demonstrated by researchers that could protect communications from hackers.
