China's 100-channel single-photon detector breaks quantum network bottleneck

A Shanghai-based team has developed a 100-channel single-photon detector, surpassing the previous 32-channel limit and enabling broadband quantum networks. The breakthrough addresses a key hardware constraint in photonic quantum technologies, though practical deployment and network integration remain unproven. This advances China's quantum communication capabilities, potentially impacting secure communications and quantum computing infrastructure.
