Is this “quantum communications” real and being deployed? Or still a science experiment?

"Is this “quantum communications” real and being deployed?"

Yes. The answer is in the article behind the link and in other news articles over the past 15 years or so.

That kind of topic hasn't been very popular in our services and entertainment culture since the 1980s, when we began more in earnest to be laid off from our "dead end jobs" in production on our own soil to make hamburgers and act as servants to old government retirees.

Our elite folks have done their best through their sponsored media to convince America that technology only pertains to their desire to live forever (bio-medical-stuff) entertainment and chatter about celebrities (personal computers, smart phones and useless electronics on other personal appliances). The effort was supported by the building of a mountainous pile of debts at every level of government.

But in the near future, after the wars over natural resources, low tech (real world necessities) will matter much more to those of us who survive. As we discuss this, PhD.s are running enviro-tech farms and shops to try to teach investors' kids to work on machines. Those interns tend to come, fumble, tire and go rather quickly to follow in their parents' footsteps with government jobs, anti-domestic-competition NGOs, etc.
