The days of full disc shelves and hard copies of games and software are imminent; Conversely, at our disposal, there are other major digital libraries as possible in Steam, not to mention online streaming settings such as Google Stadia and GeForce Now that transmits content to us lively and precisely and that, obviously, requires that we have a great bandwidth of communication to be able to function properly.
And this is where quantum physics comes into play (seriously).
Download all your games in 5 minutes? Quantum Laser enables us
Let's set an example: in the Steam library you have 100 games, and on average you each get 20 GB of free space to play. We're talking about 2 TB databases, which can be connected to a standard Internet with download speed of 5 MB / s can take about 111 hours, or whatever, you should download over four and a half days without stopping
With the new Quantum Laser technology, in this same example the download time can be reduced to just one three and a half minutes (Of course, we must remember that we will also need our storage to support this speed). In any case, consider the possibility that this technology has given us this, because in theory we no longer need to install any games, we can play directly on the developer servers.
How does the Quantum Laser work?
This technology was developed by researchers from universities in Leeds and Nottingham, United Kingdom, who found a way to transfer data at speeds of up to 100 Gb per second, or about 10 GB / s. This is about 1000 times faster than the current connection, and though this technology is under development and seldom seen in the commercial version, it's worth looking at what to expect when it comes to success, because excellent progress with regard to speed of delivery
A general idea of how this technology works quantum Cascade lasers (QCL) operates in sequence, and emits light on the Terahertz electromagnetic spectrum (instead of the less common QCLs). These lasers should change and remove the pulses about 100 million times per second, and the advantage they have is that they use acoustic waves instead of standard QCL computers, creating what they have called "quantum sources."
In short, this technology uses a laser beam of lasers to accelerate the dip and achieve the maximum speed we were talking about earlier. Now they'll have to figure out how to use this technology, because we're talking about them data for ideas.
