On Thursday, a team of Chinese scientists released findings from a breakthrough study that makes China the indisputable leader in the field of quantum communication, an achievement that could be of immense strategic importance.

The study, led by Pan Jianwei and published in Science magazine, successfully demonstrated the ability to distribute entangled photons across unprecedented distances, from space to earth, opening the door for the practical application of cutting-edge, ultra-secure communication.....

This definitely is the future.  I hope we can get the usable quantum key tech first.

Quantum Computer Tech Support.

Your computer is both fixed and not fixed at the same time.

Geek Squad fixes your computer just by observing it, but by observing it, they may also break it, or break it in another dimension.

But Geek Squad doesn't need to come to your computer to observe it. They simply have to observe an extra Q key that was made at the same time as your computer, and that's the same as observing your computer.
