That's right, encrytption based on quantum physics! Scientists have created an unbreakable cypher through the use of quantum physics. "Uncertainty is the principle we exploit," says MagiQ's VP for engineering. "It's impossible to find the key, because the photon can be measured once and only once. An eavesdropper can't measure it, and so can't get the key." Read more @ BusinessWeek.com.
Note from the Nerd: Now if this isn't cool, I don't know what is. My two favorite topix combined into one! Quantum physics and computing! Great read.
