As far as I understand this, it’s not zero latency, it’s safer key exchange possible for some encryption based on a physical and not mathematical principle.
Would be cool, of course, if they really could achieve zero latency. That could do wonders to various infrastructure efficiency. Say, allow for electric grids and internet backbone lines to know of spreading load changes to optimize for them.

There’s going to be latency because the NIC on both ends still communicates with copper to the rest of the computer system(s.)
Still going to be faster than a fiber connection or copper. Not to mention the latency induced by say the IEX Magic Box.

Anyway, nothing about quantum entanglement suggests zero latency, it’s just a fancy name, in fact it’s two things with synchronized states.
