One of the researchers involved in the study said that the results they’ve achieved will be further improved with “system upgrades” they now expect to complete in 2021.
A joint team of researchers from Fermilab, AT&T, Caltech, Harvard University, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and University of Calgary has for the first time managed to attain a sustained teleportation of qubits of photons over a distance of 44 km of fibre, with SciTechDaily describing this achievement as a “significant step in the direction of realising a quantum internet.”
According to the media outlet, the qubits were successfully teleported in two systems, the Caltech Quantum Network (CQNET) and the Fermilab Quantum Network (FQNET),
Maria Spiropulu, Shang-Yi Ch’en professor of physics at Caltech and director of the IN-Q-NET research programme, also added that the team is “very proud to have achieved this milestone on sustainable, high-performing, and scalable quantum teleportation systems,” and that “the results will be further improved with system upgrades” that they “are expecting to complete by Q2 2021.”
