Technology is changing faster than our ability to make sense of it, yet much of it is geared towards dealing with an uncertain future. Each episode of this series curates one genius moment being developed now to improve our lives tomorrow.

Here’s everything you need to know about the dawn of the quantum internet

In a huge breakthrough, a team of researchers from Caltech, Fermilab, AT&T, Harvard, NASA, and the University of Calgary teleported quantum information over a fiber-optic network of 44 kilometres. 

Achieving high-fidelity quantum teleportation lays the groundwork for a functional quantum internet, which is posed to revolutionize a number of fields in technology, communications, banking, and security.
