Researchers at Qunnect have successfully tested a prototype quantum internet under New York City, using a 34km fiber circuit known as the GothamQ loop. This test, which ran for over two weeks, involved the transmission of quantum data alongside classical data through fiber-optic connections. The experiment utilized polarization-entangled photons, marking a significant advancement in quantum communication technology. This achievement demonstrates the potential for integrating quantum and classical data transmission within existing infrastructure.
