Quantum Networks

As computer science moves ever so slowly towards the advanced era of quantum computing, some Spain-based researchers are trying to understand how Google could work in such an environment.

In Spain, scientists are applying quantum physics principles to Google’s PageRank. That's the proprietary algorithm that lets Google rank pages in search results. In doing so, they believe they could revolutionise the use of the world-famous search engine. In a scientific paper published online last month, they also say they are anticipating the quantum future that hopefully lies just around the corner.
