We're just at the beginning of a new age, where the wierdness of quantum physics becomes the workhorse of networks. For example, the city of Vienna is to get a prototype network usign quantum cryptography to secure communications.
Tubes didn't travel to Vienna, instead keeping our interview closer to home: this week, Richard Chirgwin interviews Dr Stephen Bartlett, Senior Lecturer at Sydney University's Quantum Information Theory Group in the School of Physics, to talk about quantum communications - now and in the future.
And in this week's sponsor interview, Darren Leffler, product and solutions marketing manager for Nortel, talks about virtual conferences and Web 2.0 customer service.
