  Pasadena CA (JPL) Mar 08, 2022 The NASA-funded experiment will test two technologies that could eventually enable quantum computers to communicate with each other no matter where they are located. A tiny experiment launching to the International Space Station later this year could set the stage for a future global quantum network. Called the Space Entanglement and Annealing QUantum Experiment (or SEAQUE), the milk-carton-size technology demonstration will test two communications technologies in the harsh environment of space.
