Quantum networks
Logistics are dependent on the timely and secure transfer of data and information. In a military scenario, information about fighter jets needs to be transmitted in real time. In an autonomous car network, the location of cars needs to be transmitted and traffic control instructions need to be transmitted back to the cars. Another use case is in air traffic control, where information about flight locations and speeds are transmitted to optimize the traffic. In all these scenarios, we need the data to be safely transmitted between the sender and the receiver.
We live in an age where data security techniques are well behind where they need to be. For instance, the last decade has seen over a billion people in Asia join the internet. In India alone, 300 million people got mobile internet between 2015 and 2019. But most of these people do not have any awareness of connecting to the World Wide Web and performing financial transactions.
