NEC and Mitsubishi Electric have claimed another important breakthrough in the use of quantum principles to secure 
computer communications - they’ve managed to interconnect cryptographic systems from different vendors for the first 
time.

Researchers at the University of Tokyo’s Institute of Industrial Science were able to verify that the two systems were 
functioning correctly by conducting an eavesdropping experiment.

As is a certainty in any properly working quantum cryptographic system, the eavesdropping was successfully detected. 
Data was also passed over a distance of 200 kilometres at an unspecified data rate.
