Satellite-based quantum key distribution for encryption has been demonstrated, laying the groundwork for a potential quantum-security-based global communication network.

This combination of joint certainty and individual unpredictability—a phenomenon called entanglement—is a powerful fuel that drives many quantum computing algorithms. Perhaps it also holds a lesson

But companies can make software an integral part of their sustainability efforts by accounting for its carbon footprint in its design, development, and deployment and by rethinking some aspects of how the data centers that provide cloud-based services operate.

Initially they could include such measures as memory-use efficiencies, the amount of data used, and floating-point (mathematical) operations per second.
