Through the years people have had a strong fascination with quantum physics and mechanics. This curiosity towards a world so small you can’t see has led to years of research and experimentation, and even movies have been made to show what some people think could be at the quantum level, like Ant-Man Quantumania. Discussion about quantum physics began in 1900, with Max Planck’s work on black body radiation. Since then, the idea of quantum physics has expanded to potential uses in AI, computing, and even healthcare. Currently, work is being done on something known as “quantum memory”, which scientists believe could lead to a quantum internet.

To explain this, you first need to know what is quantum memory. Quantum memory is a way of storing a photon’s quantum state without destroying the information carried by the photon. This was thought to be a possible way of storing large quantities of information in extremely small spaces. Through experiments, scientists were able to store and retrieve two photonic qubits at the quantum level. Qubits are collections of light particles; quantum memory is like binary code at the quantum level. This can be used to create computers and code at the quantum level. This is important because these computers would have the ability to work more efficiently and faster than our current supercomputer. If you have multiple computers at the quantum level that can communicate with each other, you have produced an internet.

This advancement could lead to faster and more reliable internet. There are still many advancements that need to be made before we can create a quantum internet. One of the advancements would be a quantum transistor to increase the range of the quantum signal. Once the quantum internet has been developed, the door for countless other advancements will be open. Developing a quantum internet would be revolutionary, the possibilities are endless. Currently, there is no way to know how much this will change the world, but we can dream of the possibilities.
