Researchers have successfully transmitted quantum data and conventional data through a single optical fiber for the first time.

This new "hybrid" network could pave the way for more efficient implementation of quantum communications.

Entanglement occurs when two qubits are linked in such a way that information is shared between them regardless of their relationship over time or space.
