When we think of Internetquantum, the image of a futuristic technology far removed from current reality may come to mind. However, this scenario may be closer to reality than we think.
A study led by researcher Ronald Hanson, co-author of an article published in the journal science, points to a future in which communication and security on the web will be revolutionized for this technology. Learn more below!

It is a global scale network that will connect users through specific applications for the “Quantum Universe”. Such technology is not yet widely available, but it promises to offer safer communication in cyberspace.
One of the fundamental concepts of the Quantum Internet is quantum teleportation. It allows the transfer of information between locations without the need to move the physical matter where it is stored.

While the traditional internet transmits information encoded in binary bits (0 or 1), the Quantum Internet uses qubits (quantum bits). Qubits can simultaneously represent the values 0 and 1, allowing much more complex and faster calculations to be performed.
This means that the Quantum Internet can process significantly more data more efficiently.
Challenges and Investments
Despite the promises of the Quantum Internet, its implementation requires investments significant. It will be necessary to develop a working infrastructure with very specific configurations to support the technology.
This is one of the challenges that society will face in the quest to make the Quantum Internet a reality accessible to all.
Such technology carries with it a promise of more security compared to current standards. Based on scientific advances related to subatomic particles, it is considered safer for data transmission.
Qubits have a unique characteristic that makes any attempt to steal data a detectable and, consequently, self-destructive action. This means that the information will be more protected against violations and unwanted intrusions.
Applications and Utilities
The Quantum Internet promises to boost several areas of knowledge and industry. Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be one of the main beneficiaries, with significant advances in its applications.
Sectors such as medicine will also benefit, as the Quantum Internet will enable data analysis on an exponentially larger scale, helping in more accurate research and diagnosis.
Another field that should grow and become popular is Machine Learning, in which the combination of quantum technologies with AI will facilitate even more complex and efficient data analysis.
In summary, the Quantum Internet holds promise for the future of global communication and web security.
Although it is still in the testing phase, the perspectives are encouraging and its revolutionary potential can transform the way we live and interact in the digital world known until then.
