DESCRIPTION
Quantum communication transmission rates have long been limited by the “dead time” inherent to the single-photon detectors used in the field. Now, researchers at LG Electronics in South Korea have unveiled a new protocol that promises to improve transmission rates, as well as heighten transmission security.
