The quantum internet : ultrafast and safe from hackers / Gösta Fürnkranz ; with a foreword by Rupert Ursin.

The internet can look forward to a fantastic future! With new quantum technology, hacker-proof exchange of information and ultrafast data processing will become possible. The basis for these is Albert Einstein's "quantum spook". We are not dealing here with sorcery, but with hard-core...
