  • The concept of an Ansible, yes? But it requires taking one half of the entangled pair(s) physically away to the second location. Commented Dec 23, 2024 at 13:33

    @ScottRowe Sorry, don't know about Ansible. Encryption needs a common shared key that is transmitted from A to B. If you ensure that the signal consists of entangled particles, eg polarised photons, then you can avoid interception as interception necessarily is a measurement and thus collapses the quantum state, i.e. the entanglement. The Chinese did a successful experiment in 2020 that sent entangled particles from a satellite to three cities over 1200 kilometers. According to some people this could lead to an unhackable 'quantum internet'. Anyway, I am not an expert and don't claim to be one Commented Dec 23, 2024 at 14:05

    Someone turned a very beautiful and evocative scifi word in to a product name, which should be illegal. Commented Dec 23, 2024 at 15:01

    @ScottRowe Ah, I see, no it is in fact, un-ansible. Nothing to do with faster-than-light. Commented Dec 23, 2024 at 15:11
