Awesome. So a quantum network would have the photon act as a data stream, in a way it would act like a physical security key. So with a lot of work, this would be amazing for 1:1 communications. But what if I want to send my dick pick to hundreds of people at once(1:100 distribution)? Is it possible to entangle one photon with multiple?

Entanglement may be expanded to groups of particles. Also, I'd like to note that it's not necessarily that the communication is secure, but rather that third-party observation can be detected. That's why the discussion focuses on using this to send keys, and not messages themselves.
