Arjun Kharpal — China uses a quantum satellite to transmit potentially unhackable data

• China has demonstrated way to send data over long distances which is potentially unhackable.
• It relies on "quantum cryptography" and a satellite sending data via photons from space to earth.
• The implications could be huge for cybersecurity, making businesses safer, but also making it more difficult for governments to hack into communication.

The achievement puts China undeniably at the forefront, ahead of the United States and Japan, in the a “quantum space race” as the prospect of quantum computing power being harnessed to break current encryption methods looms on the horizon.
