1. Quantum information cannot exceed the speed of light limit, according to new research from NIST and the University of Maryland’s Joint Quantum Institute.
2. The study found that attempting to “push” part of a light beam faster than light results in the loss of quantum data, similar to waves breaking against the shore.
3. The research could help clarify how noise might limit information transfer in quantum computers.
4. The study’s findings suggest that quantum noise and distortion may be the fundamental limit on information transfer speed.
5. The research team entangled photons in two different light beams and found that the more they pushed the waves, the more degraded the signal became.
6. The study’s results could be useful for understanding information transfer within quantum systems needed for quantum computers.
