Can Glass Registers Enhance Quantum Computer Security?

[cnblock]

I was wondering, I recently discovered, but don't have the article, that there is a security technology that involves the superposition of photons across a fiber optic link. I was wondering could a glass register more adequately create a quantum computer for peoples usage than an actual atomic quantum computer? Spot check me on this, I want to make sure I didn't misread the technology, you may have to find what the security technology is actually called.

Is this the security technology you were asking about?

The fiber-optic cables carrying data across the internet are vulnerable to hacking. Two US initiatives aim to fix that by creating super-secure quantum transmissions.
