Successful ground-breaking UK research that opens the door to unhackable secure communications has been announced in a journal of the American Physical Society.
The research involves a phenomenon known as ‘quantum entanglement’, which is a key to securing future communications and data against hackers.
Quantum entanglement is when 2 particles, such as photons of light, remain connected even when separated by vast distances.
But the phenomenon is highly sensitive to bad weather, background noise and signal loss.
