via Natalie Wolchover, writing at Quanta Magazine, comes a quantum-of-quantifiable-good-news regarding the internets of the future. In this case, a Quantum Internet, discussed gingerly on the fraying edges of scintillating scientic methodology... Read all about it!

'Wehner is the coordinator of the Quantum Internet Alliance, a European Union initiative to build a network for transmitting quantum information throughout the continent. In a paper in Science last October, she and two co-authors laid out a six-stage plan for realizing the quantum internet, where each developmental stage will support new algorithms and applications. The first stage is already underway, with the construction of a demonstration quantum network that will connect four cities in the Netherlands — a kind of Arpanet analogue.' - via Natalie Wolchover, writing at Quanta Magazine,
