China Successfully Sent the First Unhackable Messages with the Quantum Satellite
China launched a ‘quantum satellite’ into space which, presumably, could send messages hard to hack. These messages are encrypted using quantum mechanics, so this is why they are so difficult to decode. Their first attempt was successful, and the satellite sent such an encrypted message even if it was situated at a huge distance from […]
