Just thought about routing something encrypted at the quantum state and my head began to hurt :( Very interesting, however! EDIT: This articles goes into some more detail about quantum measurements, and answered my questions: http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn22336-quantum-measurem... A lot of this stuff is way over my head, so if anyone would care to comment and expand it'd be great!This is not the first time this kind of approach has been tried. The idea is that messages to the hub rely on the usual level of quantum security. However, once at the hub, they are converted to conventional classical bits and then reconverted into quantum bits to be sent on the second leg of their journey.
