In this episode, Fletch unpacks one of the strangest but most exciting concepts in network science: quantum routing.
Instead of your 911 call taking one fixed path through the network, quantum routing uses the principles of quantum entanglement and probability to explore all possible paths at once, instantly selecting the best.
We’ll cover:
- What quantum routing actually is (in plain English, no physics degree required).
- Why it could make emergency calls faster and more reliable.
- A real-world hurricane example showing how it could reduce dropped calls.
- The reality check: why this is decades away for PSAPs, and what hurdles stand in the way.
🎧 Tune in for a funny, snarky, and thought-provoking look at how physics might one day reshape emergency communications.
