The world will be watching very closely after the Chinese-led satellite launches in August. If it proves successful in carrying out the quantum experiments, China is expected to follow it with many more in a bid to create a super secure network that uses an encryption technique based on the principles of quantum communication. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickian Posted July 28, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I'm all for a new space race as long as it isn't satellite-based weaponry. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zalmoxis Posted September 14, 2016 #3 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Sounds great but it's not in our hands so any advance on China's behalf in the next generation of advanced technologies would be a huge minus where the United States are concerned. Are they ahead of us or behind of us? You can't really distinctly know. Interesting info though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
