Quantum Leap Towards Almost Unhackable Communication Tech

Caption

Roughly about 3mm in size, tiny chip developed by NTU scientists uses quantum communication algorithms to provide enhanced security compared to existing industry standards. It also needs 1,000 times less space than current quantum communication setups, opening doors for more secure communication technologies that can be deployed in compact devices such as smartphones, tablets and smart watches.
