tech Researchers from NIST, UMD, and Qunnect successfully demonstrated long-distance polarization-entangled photon distribution using a partially aerial fiber-optic link. The test connected NIST’s Gaithersburg campus to UMD in College Park, Maryland, across 62 kilometers of commercial telecom fiber. Over a 24-hour stress test, they maintained an entanglement distribution rate of about 1,500 pairs per second. The setup used automated polarization compensation to counteract environmental noise like wind and temperature swings.
