The network is based on entangling two quantum memory nodes separated by optical fiber, allowing for the transfer of perfectly secure quantum information. The silicon-vacancy center in quantum memory devices helps overcome signal loss in the network. The researchers aim to expand the network by adding nodes and experimenting with more protocols. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
