Quantum Teleportation: Paving the Way for a Quantum Internet

In July, the US Department of Energy unveiled a blueprint for the first quantum internet , connecting several of its National Laboratories across the country. A quantum internet would be able to transmit large volumes of data across immense distances at a rate that exceeds the speed of light . You can imagine all the applications that can benefit from such speed. 

Traditional computer data is coded in either zeros or ones. Quantum information is superimposed in both zeros and ones simultaneously. Academics, researchers and IT professionals will need to create devices for the
