Quantum Communication, Chinese Academy of Sciences
Chinese quantum physicist Pan Jianwei's offering, quantum communication, has been heralded as the answer to the ever-growing menace of cyber theft.
His lab under the Chinese Academy of Sciences has achieved breakthroughs in metropolitan quantum communication networks by using fiber trusted relay-based inter-city quantum communication, and ultra-long distance quantum communication between satellite and ground.
Devices equipped with these technologies are expected to be ultra-secure as a quantum photon can neither be separated nor duplicated. Scientists say it will be impossible to wiretap, intercept or crack information in quantum communication.
