92. Quantum Communication: A New Way to Share Information
What is the main advantage of quantum communication over normal communication methods like phone calls or emails?
- It is much faster and can send more data.
- It uses satellites to work over very long distances.
- It provides a unique and higher level of security.
- It is simpler and cheaper to build and maintain.
According to the essay, what is "quantum entanglement"?
- A method for sending information using electrical signals.
- The process of launching satellites for global communication.
- A special link between particles where a change in one instantly affects the other.
- A type of code that is difficult for computers to break.
How does Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) ensure that a secret key hasn't been intercepted?
- It sends the key through a heavily encrypted email.
- It uses a powerful computer to constantly change the key.
- Any attempt to spy on the key will change the quantum particles and alert the users.
- It only works over very short distances where spying is impossible.
The essay mentions that China has launched satellites. What is the purpose of this action?
- To provide free internet access to the entire world.
- To test quantum communication over long distances.
- To compete with traditional phone companies.
- To take pictures of space for scientific research.
What is a current challenge facing the development of quantum communication?
- It is difficult, expensive, and still in its early stages.
- Scientists do not believe it will make the digital world safer.
- The technology is already obsolete and being replaced.
- It cannot be used to protect any important systems like banking.
