Quantum leap forward: China to launch world’s longest, ‘hack-proof’ network by 2016

From your link:


Theory is is perfect, its applications may not be! For example here the hacker was able to access the detector, ideally it should not be the case.

Honestly, yeah, I am not that knowledgeable about this field, last time I studied any of it was 6 years ago, just theory (concepts) and for extra curriculum. And that is why I am just talking about theory, I have no clue how they are turning it into practice.

As part of my Btech Project I had worked on s/w project which simulated Quantum cryptography. As for 0/0, i was not questioning God, but pointing out loopholes in conventional understanding of Maths.

Though Maths is the basis of science, which pretty much drives humanity forward.

My final point is quantum cryptography is not a panacea for security, but the best one available

I was joking about 0/0. Pointing out that there are certain conditions which are not allowed. Like unstoppable force meeting immovable wall or something. In general usage, maths is infallible. Or atleast that is what I believe while applying it to physics! And my studies have been purely theoretical. I studied quantum crypto for a presentation in my QM course. So my understanding regarding the engineering side is rather limited.

So is mine, I luckly had access to very funny article explaining quantum cryptography in layman terms and an audience who had no idea about the same.

The quantum mechanics equation just flew over my head

Just don't let our enemies acquire the technology. Only our allies can enjoy high tech like us. Everybody else can go about their nasty, brutish and short lives.
