Albert Einstein called this interaction "spooky", but scientists are trying to use it to encrypt and send messages. "This is the most secured method of communication because any eavesdropper will disrupt the entanglement and be detected," said Wang Jianyu, a CAS researcher and the system commander of Micius. |
