First test of quantum communications with special optical fibers. Conducted in Italy, in L'Aquila, steps to make connections faster.

Quantum technologies promise to also revolutionize the world of communications, guaranteeing total security and efficiency in the exchange of information. The tests indicated a two-fold improvement in the traditional transmission of qubits that could be adopted for future communications. "The possibility of increasing the rate of generation of cryptographic keys will allow us to broaden the audience of commercial users able to benefit from this technology", said Tommaso Occhipinti, CEO of QTI.
