Researchers have developed a new communication paradigm that can let them securely connect a PC to a quantum computer over the internet.
Known as "blind quantum computing," the technique uses a fiber-optic cable to connect a quantum computer with a photon-detecting device and uses quantum memory — the equivalent of conventional computing memory for quantum computers. This device is connected directly to a PC, which can then perform operations on the quantum computer remotely. The details were outlined in a new study published April 10 in the journal Physical Review Letters.
