I'm trying to understand this. Normal fiber optics work by pulsing or varying light to be interpreted as 1 and 0s, ie information. I'm guessing this aims to encode the 1 or 0, or whatever range a qubit has, into the particle itself. In which case, we no longer have to worry about how the photon travels, but instead, what the photon represents.
