The quantum internet uses the laws of quantum physics to send information in a way that is fundamentally different from today’s networks. Instead of traveling as fixed data, information is carried in quantum states that do not exist in a single, defined form while in transit. These states only resolve into a specific value when they are measured at the destination. Because of this, the information cannot be copied, intercepted, or known in advance. Any attempt to observe it changes it. This makes the quantum internet inherently secure, even against unknown or future threats, since the data does not exist as a readable message until the moment it is received.
