#52 Mustafa Gündoğan: Can We Build an Unhackable Internet?

What if we could build an internet that is fundamentally more
secure, one where information is carried by light and cannot be
secretly intercepted? This is the promise of quantum
communication, but it requires a seemingly impossible technology:
a way to store light. In this episode of #AskDifferent, Einstein
Independent Researcher Mustafa Gündoğan from Humboldt-Universität
zu Berlin explains his work on quantum memory. He breaks down the
central dilemma scientists face: the more efficiently you store
quantum information, the faster it's lost. Discover his
groundbreaking approach to solving this problem by using atom
clouds in microgravity, a method that could extend storage time
from one second to several minutes. Learn how this key technology
could pave the way for a global network of interconnected quantum
computers and revolutionize secure communication as we know it.
