Quantum Teleportation Demonstrated at Internet-Friendly Wavelengths

European reporting highlights experiments designed to work with today’s fiber infrastructure—reducing barriers to a future quantum internet.

A European Commission (CORDIS) feature spotlights work where researchers performed quantum teleportation using wavelengths compatible with standard telecom fiber, pointing toward a quantum internet that could reuse existing infrastructure rather than requiring entirely new cabling. 

A key technical detail emphasized is operation around a common telecommunications wavelength (reported as 1515 nm) to better match existing fiber systems and reduce losses over distance. 

Conclusion:
This is the pragmatic version of quantum networking: not just “teleportation happened,” but “teleportation happened in a way that plays nicer with real-world fiber.” That’s the difference between lab magic and deployable engineering.
