This short Nature film introduces the quantum-repeater problem through research reported in 2021. It makes a useful follow-up to a broad quantum-internet explainer: the focus here is one piece of the physical infrastructure. The experiment belongs to the film’s original reporting period and should not be mistaken for a newly launched network. Watch for the engineering challenge of connecting quantum devices, not faster everyday web browsing.
