Real world
Okay, so, is this currently real world tech? No. Is it eventually going to be real world tech? Yes. I was told to look at the wikipedia article, but the sensor section is about technology being worked on, and using entanglement for cryptography is very much not something that has the bugs worked out. The one instance of genuine "quantum tech", as in, something actually made is D-wave, which isn't a quantum computer. Rather it uses a specific optimization process involving some quantum behavior to get randomization instead of normal computer generated random numbers. This is not sufficient for it to be "quantum tech". Unless we also consider transistors or lasers "quantum tech", since they only work due to quantum mechanical principles. But that's highly counter intuitive based on how we use the terms. Najawin ☎ 19:59, June 26, 2020 (UTC)
