Why this breakthrough could rewrite the future of communication. Most recently, researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), EPB of Chattanooga, & the University of Tennessee performed an unprecedented experiment in which they sent entangled photons through a commercial fiber-optic network and maintained an entangled connection for over 30 hours! They used a system called automatic polarization compensation, or just APC. It keeps the photons in check, adjusting them in real time so the signal doesn’t drop, even if the environment around it starts to shift

In essence, team used something called automatic polarization compensation, or APC, which basically keeps the photons contained and then adjusts to keep the entangled state without quitting if the conditions that are present in the environment change. This breakthrough means quantum networks are a real possibility and viable! The future of quantum communication: advancements that could send data beyond our solar system. Sending light to another galaxy is still a distant dream. However, the recent breakthrough in stabilizing entangled photons has opened new doors for quantum communication and future computing.

Recent advancements in nanometer-scale engineering, such as development of ultra-compact photon generators, are also pushing limits of what is possible, signaling a future where quantum communication could surpass even our solar system. What once seemed like science fiction teleporting light is now proven by scientists to be a reality. With every new advance, we get closer to a future where instantaneous, secure communication over unimaginable distances stops being a dream and becomes a reality. Whether it’s across the street or to another galaxy, the way we think about sending information is being fundamentally transformed. 
Maybe we’re closer to a reality like the one in the film Back to the Future than we realize, especially with recent research advancements that, for instance, are transforming light into an exotic material – a discovery that
promises to redefine physics and quantum computing.
