In recent years, Chinese scientists actively engaged in the study of quantum cryptography, and developments are actively implemented in various spheres. So, very soon, the developers plan to launch a secure government messenger, which will allow you to send messages to officials. Surveillance of high officials from various States, therefore, the development program will not be excess.
Chinese Institute of quantum technologies has tested the system in early July, after which the experts came to the conclusion that it is completely ready to work. The launch of the messenger is scheduled for August 2017. At first use it will be about 200 military and government officials of the city of Jinan, where is the quantum Institute. If someone tries to break in the network, the connection will immediately be terminated, blocking hackers access to information.
And it is not only the success of Chinese scientists in the field of quantum technologies. In August 2016, China launched a satellite quantum communication, which a year later formed a connection with the Earth, passing information to a few Chinese stations. In the spring of this year, China began the development of a quantum computer.
