That’s the theory behind a project from Florida Atlantic University (FAU). Together with Qubitekk and L3Harris, and led by physics professor Warner Miller, FAU is working to develop the world’s first drone-based quantum network for the U.S. Air Force.
Because it would use quantum technology, rather than the current fiber-optic tech, this network of drones would theoretically be unhackable. In quantum mechanics, "entangled" particles can affect each other — exchanging information, basically — instantly, and from a great distance.
