Toward a global quantum Internet: A review of challenges facing aerial quantum networks

July 12, 2025 by Nitin Jha, Abhishek Parakh

Abstract: Quantum networks use principles of quantum physics to create secure communication networks. Moving these networks off the ground using drones, balloons, or satellites could help increase the scalability of these networks. This article reviews how such aerial links work, what makes them difficult to build, and the possible solutions that can be used to overcome these … [Read more...] about Toward a global quantum Internet: A review of challenges facing aerial quantum networks

Privacy implications of facial recognition technology

Facial recognition technology (FRT) has experienced enormous growth and rapid deployment across different sectors of the society in recent years, mostly motivated by safety, security, and commercial applications. However, major privacy questions arise around this technology, and regulators are still working to provide clear set of rules governing its use. This paper focuses on privacy implications of FRT usage. Specifically, we first present the definition of FRT, followed by an analysis of the vulnerability and risks that can potentially arise and how they might be concerning in such context. Finally, we discuss efforts needed to mitigate privacy concerns related to FRT, from both technical and regulatory perspectives.
