The way I interpreted the article, you aren't amplifying the signal but transferring it. Same as store and forward. I think that implies that degradation is not a problem as long as the new photon profile was a match. The real problem is matching the profile which they only managed at 10 meters.
Yep. I also valid concerns. But those seem to be their next steps. I just wondered if there would be degradation. You wouldn't even be able to tell until it reached the destination.
Definitely interesting stuff.
what about "bit rot" (but, y'know, tiny tiny bits)
