Test of a prototype quantum internet runs under New York City for half a month
phys.org
To introduce quantum networks into the marketplace, engineers must overcome the fragility of entangled states in a fiber cable and ensure the efficiency of signal delivery. Now, scientists at Qunnect Inc. in Brooklyn, New York, have taken a large step forward by operating just such a network under the streets of New York City.

But how is the latency for online gaming? It’d be awesome if it’s near instantaneous, or limited only by the net code.

    Everyone hating on that setup are a bunch of morons.

    There’s a good reason to put your patch panels on a separate rack then all of your switches like that, because eventually you’ll have to roll them around. At which point, you’re going to need some slack in the lines, like when you’re hooking up a tow line to your hitch.

    That’s all I see here: preparedness. Separate racks for switches and patch panels, and a lot of slack for when you got to roll them around, or some shit I don’t know.

    I just know that I see foresight and planning when I look at that picture, not sure why everyone else doesn’t.
