Scientists used a technique called 'active syndrome extraction' to build four logical qubits from 30 physical ones and run 14,000 experiments without detecting a single error.

The researchers hit a rate of 301 terabits per second — equivalent to transferring 1,800 4K movies over the internet in one second — using existing fiber-optic cables.

Wow, that's fast! Scientists in the UK say they’ve developed a way to beam internet speeds at 301,000 Gbps over a single, standard optical fiber.

Aston University researchers achieved this by tapping new wavelength bands not used in current optical fiber cabling.

“Broadly speaking, data was sent via an optical fiber like a home or office internet connection,” said Ian Phillips, one of the Aston University researchers on the team.

Other scientists have also been able to send even faster internet speeds at over 1 million Gbps by effectively splitting the optical light into more wavelengths to boost data transmission rates. However, the research paper from the Aston University team says these solutions can require upgrading an entire optical fiber network.

“In contrast, MBT (multiband transmission), while limited in overall bandwidth to that of the installed standard single mode fibre (SSMF), requires system upgrade only at the node and operator level,” researchers wrote. They add that their experiment was carried out over a 50 kilometer-long optical fiber.
