US Patent Issued to Eric Litak on May 20 for "Classical implementation of quantum entanglement in datacenter network design" (California Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 16 -- United States Patent no. 12,309,125, issued on May 20, was assigned to Eric Litak (Reno, Nev.).

"Classical implementation of quantum entanglement in datacenter network design" was invented by Paul L. Borrill (Palo Alto, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Quantum mechanics provides several features useful for datacenter networking. The no cloning theorem, which states that it is impossible to mate a duplicate of an arbitrary, unknown quantum state, can be used to detect eavesdroppers. Entanglement allows two parties to have common knowledge of a shared state. These properties are being used today for quantum key exchange and quantum computing, but they are curren...
