Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, Semiconductor Research Institute.
At that moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the uniquely shaped tubular device and the back of the man standing beside the single-photon entanglement emitter, waiting for his next move.
Glancing at the time on his watch, Lu Zhou turned his gaze to the researcher standing before the computer and nodded.
"We can begin."
"Understood."
The brief exchange ended.
The researcher standing before the computer pressed the button.
Almost exactly like the scene Academician Xue had witnessed before, entangled photon pairs shot out from the single-photon entanglement emitter at an extremely high frequency, forming streams of information made up of single-photon pairs. They lit up the indicator lights on the quantum repeater before being amplified and transmitted to a receiver several hundred meters away from the laboratory.
At the same time, the conventional communication channel running parallel to the quantum communication channel released a vast amount of data at the receiving end, where specialized decoding equipment decoded it using the received quantum key.
The entire process involved extraordinarily complex principles of Physics and Information Science, but to those standing beside the equipment, it took only an instant.
While the Hua Academy of Sciences experts gathered around the computer all displayed shocked, astonished expressions, the ministerial-level officials standing behind the elderly man had not even realized the experiment was over.
Only after Lu Zhou informed them that the experiment had succeeded did bewilderment and amazement appear on their faces.
The first to recover, Director Li hurried over to the group of experts and anxiously asked for confirmation.
"The experiment succeeded?"
Academician Gao Junwen from the Information Engineering Research Institute blinked blankly, exchanged astonished looks with an old friend beside him, then looked at Director Li and nodded.
"Without a doubt... Transmitter A sent
