BEIJING: China has set up its first "commercial" quantum network in its northern province of Shandong, state media said, the country's latest step in advancing a technology expected to enable "hack proof" communications.
China touts that it is at the forefront of developing quantum technology. In August it said it sent its first "unbreakable" quantum code from an experimental satellite to the Earth. The Pentagon has called the launch of that satellite a year earlier a "notable advance".
