Heriot-Watt University has recently received a £2.5M grant to build and test a telescope that communicates with satellites via a quantum-encrypted laser beam. The ultimate aim of the project is to create an ultra-secure Internet connection. For the public, the facility's work will directly contribute to more secure everyday transactions ranging from online banking to health data protection, with the potential to create networks that cannot be hacked.https://www.perthshireboxoffice.com/whats-on/curious-minds-using-satellites-to-create-a-quantum-internet-by-dr-ross-donaldson-of-heriot-watt-university
