The US government is building a quantum loop, a network of the future that cannot be hacked

Scientists from Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago have built one of the world's largest quantum loops.

It stretches for 83 kilometers and is located in the suburbs of Chicago.

There, engineers are testing quantum technologies to build a network based on the phenomenon of quantum entanglement.

This phenomenon provides a previously unavailable level of security.

The communication of two entangled particles, which can exchange information for two users, cannot be physically interfered with and overheard. The US government wants to connect quantum networks in the next few years to the most important government agencies and research centers in the country.

The idea is to create a super-fast information exchange system that will be the safest ever.

The Pentagon does not hide that the system is also created with a view to curbing cyberterrorism originating in China and Russia.

Daily attacks on networks cost the US millions of dollars. The plans to expand the quantum network do not just cover the country.

Authorities even want to create a quantum internet and a new GPS system using a constellation of microsatellites.

The government also intends to support technological giants and startups that deal with the development of artificial intelligence technologies on a daily basis.

The Department of Defense has a vision of the full automation of installations moving on Earth's orbit.

Spacecraft will host advanced combat robots operating within the Space Corps, capable of quickly and effectively responding to problems in the future operation of Moon and Mars bases and asteroid mines. The army will invest 15 billion dollars in various research centers in the next few years.

in the USA.

So we can expect that there will also be progress in systems used for civil purposes, which we can use, for example, in smartphone applications.

The revolution will not bypass the security of corporate databases, thanks to which the theft of confidential information about users will occur less frequently than today.
