ation, but given the level of integration and how well current coding schemes work, I'd guess this will remain a niche unless there's a major breakthrough in factoring. -TD From: "Trei, Peter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Eugen Leitl" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EM

e, it IS possible to write intelligently on quantum entanglement, EPR and Aharnov-Bohm, and it's been done by Sci-Am, Penrose, Kaku and plenty of others. -TD From: Justin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Scientific American on Quantum Encryption Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2005

I've actually seen these devices in operation. The thing that impressed me most was that the path need not be a single fiber from end to end - you can maintain quantum state across a switchable fiber junction. This means you are no longer limited to a single pair of boxes talking to each other.
