A major breakthrough in quantum technology was achieved in October 2024: the first-ever quantum satellite communication link between China and South Africa. The connection spanned a remarkable 12,900km: the longest intercontinental quantum communication link established to date. The longest before this was 7,600km and within the northern hemisphere only.  Mbuyiseni Ndlozi is in conversation with Stellebosch University Senior Lecturer in Quantum Physics, Dr. Yaseera Ismail.
