secure communication

In an era where connectivity defines operational success, modern communication systems still rely heavily on fragile infrastructures. Internet backbones, wireless towers, satellites, and fiber networks form the invisible scaffolding of global data exchange. Yet when disasters strike—wildfires, earthquakes, floods, or war zones—these systems often fail first. Ironically, the moments when communication is most critical are the moments when it becomes least reliable. A groundbreaking research initiative from Virginia Tech proposes a radical alternative: communication that does not depend on traditional networks at all. By leveraging one of the strangest and most powerful phenomena in physics—quantum entanglement—researchers suggest that fleets of … Read more
