Fascinating article. Here's an excerpt:
An Unhackable Internet?
What excites [Chris Monroe], an
experimental quantum physicist at the Joint Quantum Institute in
Maryland, about the loophole-free Bell test is its usefulness for a new
kind of communications network, a quantum version of the Internet.
Entangled particles sent over such a network would be protected against
hackers; an eavesdropper could not tap into the information without
making her presence known.
“The security of the information is guaranteed by the fundamental laws of physics,” says Monroe.
