Ask HN: Quantum Entanglement Bandwidth Possibilities

1 points by joshontheweb 12y ago ↗ HN

Anyone know what are the bandwidth limits might be for data transfer between quantum entangled particles? Also, if we figure how to realistically send network data over one pair of entangled particles, is there any reason why we couldn't have many entangled pairs working in parallel. For instance, if you had 1024 pairs of entangled particles, you would be able to transfer a kilobyte in parallel instantaneously. Feasible?

Part of me thinks QE isn't really about the data transfer itself ... assuming you are asking because of what you read in the last paragraph @ http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/169874-ntt-entangle-photo... ... it's clear that we are looking more at FTL binary communication than what we are used to (in my opinion). Still interesting times ahead.
