The future of the internet won’t be built with cables and servers. It’ll be woven from quantum entanglement. And thanks to a breakthrough at Caltech, we’re now closer to instant, ultra-secure communication than ever before.

Caltech researchers have achieved entanglement multiplexing, a technique that allows multiple quantum bits (qubits) to communicate simultaneously, supercharging the quantum internet.

Using ytterbium atoms embedded in nanofabricated crystals, they successfully linked two quantum nodes, overcoming key bottlenecks in quantum communication.

This isn’t just faster internet, it’s a complete paradigm shift. A quantum network could redefine security, computing, and global communication.

But as quantum power grows, so does the risk of new cybersecurity threats and monopolized control. Who should govern this future—tech giants, governments, or decentralized networks?
