“[...] create a kind of international quantum internet. Instead, container ships loaded with quantum bits could cross the seas and connect distant servers. [...] The technology required to store quantum bits doesn’t exist yet either [...] a single shipping container could hold the equivalent of 125 bytes of quantum data [...] Large ships can carry 10,000 containers, so the team calculate that a fully loaded vessel on a 20-day voyage between Japan and the US would have a transfer rate equivalent to between 10 bytes per second and 1 terabyte per second, depending on the memory technology used.”
