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.
Entangled particles cannot transmit information between the pairs. That would violate information theory and likely causality as well.
Quantum networking is instead focused on using extremely robust encryption that can detect interception using entangled pairs of light particles being transmitted together in the fiber optics.
some interpret this to mean there is no free will.
Which is kinda stupid. Because even if my decisions come about through undetermined random quantum effects that is still a physical effect outside of my control and I still cannot really act of my own free will. Schopenhauer had already figured that out without the need for quantum physics. A person might do what they want but they cannot want what they want.
Can someone explain why they still need fiber? I thought this was about someone finally succeeding in making practical use of entangled pairs.

tldr: Free will is bullshit. Let’s watch some TV.
