Is it time to abandon the regular Internet in favor of the quantum one?

The modern Internet relies on sophisticated encryption algorithms to protect information, but hackers adapt and learn to bypass such systems, leading to cyber attacks around the world. According to experts, the damage to the economy from cyberattacks will continue to grow , although the world economy is already losing trillions of dollars annually. With this in mind, the interest in finding alternatives to the Internet looks increasingly justified, and the creation of a quantum network looks like a good replacement for standard encryption methods.

According to Dr. Joshi, humanity has taken a huge step towards creating a secure analogue of the Internet:





With this scale of economy, the prospect of a publicly available quantum internet is becoming less dim. We have proven this, and as we continue to refine our multiplexing techniques to optimize and share resources on the network, we could expect to serve not only hundreds or thousands, but potentially millions of users in the not too distant future.
