Via /., I saw the following article on ever higher speed QKD:
http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2010-04/19/super-secure-data-encryption-gets-faster.aspx
Very interesting physics, but quite useless in the real world.
I wonder why it is that, in spite of almost universal disinterest in the
security community, quantum key distribution continues to be a subject
of active technological development.
