Quantum key distribution (QKD) has always faced a stubborn limitation: to reach its theoretical promise, a system needs to use stable single-photon sources that produce exactly one photon on demand. Those sources are difficult to build and pricey to operate. In practice, most networks use faint laser pulses, which are good enough to demonstrate QKD, [...] The post Researchers Advance Quantum Encryption, Without Perfect Hardware appeared first on Techstrong IT.| Techstrong IT

power distribution: fast, affordable circuit breakers.Their prototype semiconductor breaker interrupts a 1,400-volt DC fault in under 50 microseconds—orders of magnitude faster than today’s mechanical devices. Why does it matter?👉 AI-era data centers demand more megawatts than local grids can supply.👉 DC distribution is inherently more efficient—but also far riskier without protection.👉 Legacy breakers were built for AC, not DC.ORNL’s design uses old-school thyristors with a ...| Techstrong IT
