Quantum Entanglement and Its Potential for Secure Communication

Quantum entanglement allows for changes in one atom to instantaneously affect another atom regardless of distance, providing potential for secure communication. The U.S. government is funding research to develop a quantum computer network to ensure absolute information security. Scientists have achieved entanglement at distances exceeding 88 miles and theorize that it could occur between the moon and earth. This phenomenon, though not fully understood by researchers, demonstrates the potential of quantum mechanics in information security.
