Quantum memory technology could prevent unbreakable network failures

Quantum versions of random access memory can read and write information 1000 times, and could eventually become a key component of long-distance quantum networks.

In traditional computers, random access memory (RAM) is essential for short-term information storage. So is random access quantum memory (RAQM), which is expected to be essential to the smooth running of an unhackable quantum internet that connects cities. This is because quantum information easily degrades as it travels. Adding RAQM…
