    A quantum internet could enable any two users to establish almost unbreakable cryptographic keys to protect sensitive information

    We can already do that dumbass.

      I guess that’s far more unbreakable than what we have. But anyway, several three letter agencies will fight this (again) tooth and nails.

        This will be useful for militaries and corporations, not consumers. If it can’t work anywhere (or over a VPN, or wirelessly, etc.) It won’t work.

      Ah, finally. Now we will stop talking about, hearing about, and shoving “AI” in everything and the next new thing will be “quantum internet enabled” things.

        I’m sorry. I realized in a comment below that one its very useful for governments/militaries and corporations.
