Summary:
  Researchers have demonstrated a network connection between quantum processors over metropolitan distances.
  Their result marks a key advance from early research networks in the lab towards a future quantum internet.
  The team developed fully independently operating nodes and integrated these with deployed optical internet fiber, enabling a
  25-km quantum link.

Me:
I wonder, yes I wonder...
Not sure I understand it, not sure what it could do..
Anybody has a simple explanation?
 
quantum??? has become some sort of sales word...
 
ESP simpler?
