HEFEI, March 20, 2025 This image transmitted through quantum-secured communication between China and South Africa in a data transmission experiment shows the experimental site at Stellenbosch University, South Africa. An international team led by Chinese scientists have realized quantum-secured communication across over 12,900 kilometers between China and South Africa.. Using the Jinan-1 micro-nano satellite and compact ground stations, this new breakthrough in quantum technology demonstrates the potential for secure quantum communication on a global scale..TO GO WITH ''2nd LD-Writethru-China Focus: Chinese-led team achieves world's first 10,000-km quantum-secured communication'' (University of Science and Technology of China/Handout via Xinhua) (Credit Image: © Xu Haitao/Xinhua/Zuma Press/Fotoarena)
