Quantum Internet
Scientists in South Africa and China have built the world’s longest intercontinental quantum satellite link, 12,900km via the Jinan-1 microsatellite. Using quantum key distribution, it secured image transfers with physics-guaranteed encryption – the first such link in the Southern Hemisphere.
