Amazon and Harvard University have created a “quantum network” that transmitted an entangled photon from one quantum computer to another over 35 kilometers of fiber-optic cable.

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.

I did a few minutes of research on this. The article checks out since I was able to find other sources confirming the same.
However, it doesn't seem right to me. My understanding of quantum entanglement meant that entangled protons could be anywhere, regardless of distance, and they would always be entangled.
I asked Claude about it. Here's what was said:

can someone explain in layman's terms? DId we just prove time travel?
