This opens the door to a new world of secure communications and encryption. Trying to hack such a system disturbs its quantum state and sets off alarms. When Micius, the world’s first quantum satellite, launched in 2016, it was thanks to Jian-Wei Pan, whose vision made the project a reality. He is the kind of person who pulls up his sleeves and gets to work. His long-term goal of a quantum Internet has come a few leaps closer because of this. I consider it a privilege to have been his teacher.
Zeilinger is a senior scientist at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information Vienna and a University of Vienna professor emeritus of physics.
