"ytterbium atom/ 1,389 nm telecom-band single photon entanglement enabling long-distance signal communication without the need for conversion from visible/ near-UV to telecom-band... preserves coherence among certain qubits while others used for communication tasks... future: photon intermediation instead of direct atom-photon entanglement, larger project with optical cavity to improve photon collection efficiency... interconnecting/ synchronizing world's atomic clocks, modular quantum computation"
