"sub-optimal due to optical fibers' solid cores... wavelengths of single-photon sources, qubits, and active optical components, for light-based quantum technologies, are different... air pockets running along entire fiber length allowing manipulation of light properties creating entangled pairs, change color, trap individual atoms... also, specialty fibers for quantum repeaters... sources of entangled single photons, quantum wavelength converters, low-loss switches, quantum memory vessels... quantum internet"
