" Quantum communication, unlike traditional encryption, is deemed un-hackable and hence the future of secure information transport for banks, power grids, and other industries.
Quantum key distribution (QKD) is at the heart of quantum communication, as it employs the quantum states of particles — such as photons — to create a string of zeros and ones, with any eavesdropping between the sender and receiver changing this string or key and being detected instantaneously.
China boasts the world’s largest national power grid, transmitting 7,500 tera-watt hours of electricity every year, more than the combined networks of the US, India, Russia, and Japan. "

Find this whole area fascinating, if just a bit hard to get my head around. The idea of qubits from a cybersecurity perspective reminds me a bit of Schoedinger's cat, i if a hacker tries to observe them in transit, their super-fragile quantum state “collapses” to either 1 or 0, once you observe it you know someone was there. There are a lot of people working on quantum key distribution and even quantum teleportation, just hope we can keep up and even stay ahead of the Chinese.
