Quantum theory may seem like an obscure subject of questionable relevance to the average person. But in fact, much of our technological world depends on our understanding of the quantum properties of the subatomic universe. And soon, perhaps very soon, we\u2019ll be interacting with the weirdness of quantum mechanics even more directly \u2013 with the coming of quantum computing and the quantum internet. Quantum computing is a topic that\u2019s that has been well covered, so we\u2019re going to be talking about the quantum internet. Specifically quantum cryptography and quantum key distribution \u2013 the foundations of the prospective quantum internet. We may come back to the quantum computer in detail \u2013 but for now, let me show you why their advent will demand a quantum internet.<\/p>\n
