Explained: India's 1-km quantum leap that makes eavesdropping impossible
Remember Salman Khan in the movie Judwaa —double trouble, one reflex? The actor plays twin brothers mysteriously synced-up: punch one, the other flinches. That David Dhawan comedy, believe it or not, offers a fun primer on something that even baffled Einstein—quantum entanglement. Fast forward to today, the same concept is driving cutting-edge communication systems. Scientists from the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and IIT Delhi have achieved a significant milestone: demonstrating quantum entanglement-based secure communication over one kilometre in open air. This isn't lab science—it's the start of building unhackable communication systems for military, financial, and governance sectors. Why is quantum-secure communication necessary? As data breaches grow more complex, traditional encryption struggles to keep up. Secure communication is no longer optional—it's critical. Quantum technologies offer a way to make eavesdropping nearly impossible by alerting both sender and receiver the moment someone tries to intercept the message. What is quantum entanglement and why is it game-changing? Quantum entanglement means two particles are mysteriously linked—change one, and the other responds instantly, even from far away. It defies conventional physics. Think of entangled particles as magical dice: roll one in Delhi, and the matching die in Chennai shows the same number instantly. Or imagine whispering a secret across a stadium knowing no one else—not even with microphones or tech—can hear it. That's what India just pulled off using quantum entanglement. How does quantum communication work? Conventional internet communication sends binary data—0s and 1s—over cables or satellites. Quantum communication uses particles like photons that exist in fragile 'quantum states' (qubits). The breakthrough lies in Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), which securely transmits encryption keys. If someone tries to tap in, the act of observing alters the quantum state—alerting users to a breach immediately. DRDO and IIT Delhi demonstrated QKD across open air with: A secure key rate of 240 bits per second (bps) An error rate below 7 per cent One kilometre of secure free-space communication What did India achieve and who benefits? India entered the quantum communication era by showing that it's possible to build hack-proof links using light particles in open air. The DRDO-IIT Delhi achievement includes: One kilometre of secure communication without wires A quantum key transmission rate of 240 bps Low error margin of under 7 per cent This lays the foundation for encrypted communication across banks, the armed forces, government systems, and telecom networks. The demonstration supports India's National Quantum Mission and advances domestic capabilities in photonics and long-distance quantum networking. How does this compare to global quantum efforts? Globally, most QKD systems function over short distances (20–50 km) using fibre optics. India's one-km free-space demonstration puts it in league with nations like China and the US, which are racing to build satellite-based quantum networks. While China conducted a 1,200 km quantum satellite link via Micius, India's leap lies in achieving secure entanglement communication in open air — a milestone for building urban and battlefield quantum networks.

Meet actress who once ruled Bollywood with Govinda, starred with Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, vanished at her peak because.., he name is.., she is now..
Meet actress who once ruled Bollywood with Govinda, starred with Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, vanished at her peak because.., he name is.., she is now.. In the glittering world of Bollywood, many actors come and go every day to Mumbai with a suitcase full of dreams to make it big on the silver screen. However, in this fleeting industry where the fate of an actor changes every Friday, there are rarely a few actors who remain etched in the memory of the audience and carve a niche for themselves. One such story is of an actress who entered the industry during the golden era, the times when Madhuri Dixit and Karishma Kapoor were dominating the Indian cinema. This actress came with a whirlwind and captivated the hearts of many with her expressive eyes and natural charm. The actress we are talking about is none other than Rambha. Born as Vijaylakshmi in Andhra Pradesh, she stepped into the industry when she was only 16. Before venturing into Bollywood cinema, she had already done some work in Telugu cinema. But her Bollywood debut began with Jallad which came in 1995. She starred opposite Mithun Chakraborty and was massively appreciated. Her strong performance and natural innocence stood out to the audience, and she started getting many opportunities. She appeared in many hit films like Judwaa, Jung, Kehar, Bandhan, Beti No.1, Dil Hi Dil Mein, and Daanveer, and soon she became a household name with immense popularity. But besides gaining massive popularity in Bollywood, Rambha was also a popular name in South cinema. She also worked with top South Indian actors like Rajinikanth, Venkatesh, Vijay, Mammootty, and Ravi Chandran. Even in Bollywood, she had worked with top stars like Govinda, Salman Khan. Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, and Anil Kapoor. During the peak of her career, she decided to step away from the limelight. She tied the knot with a Canadian businessman, Indrakumar Pathmanathan in Tirumala in the year 2010. She shifted her focus to her family life and devoted all her time to her husband and children. Rambha now lives a private life in Canada with her husband and three kids, Laanya (born in 2011), Sasha (2015), and a son born in 2018 She last appeared in the Malayalam film Filmstar in 2011. Since then, she has been away from the acting world. Whether in the limelight or not, Rambha will always be fondly remembered as the rare star who managed to win the hearts of both the Hindi and South Indian audiences.
