- Real-World Quantum Communication Demonstration – Researchers securely transmitted encrypted quantum message between two University of Ottawa buildings 984 feet (300 meters) apart
- Institutions Involved – Include University of Ottawa (Canada), National Research Council of Canada (Canada), Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (Germany), Universitat Erlangen-Nurnberg (Germany), University of Rochester (U.S.), and Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences (Iran)
- Application – Can form basis for global quantum communication system that would also incorporate ground-based networks and satellites
- Next Step – Send encrypted quantum message at longer distance up to 3.5 miles (5.6 kilometers) to demonstrate technology’s potential on city scale while overcoming turbulence
