Researchers plan to create a paperclip-sized probe whose purpose is to transmit information from the edge of the black hole event horizon. That probe will be sent to the black hole's material disk. And there it can use quantum technology like hovering quantum or nanoparticles to capture and send information from that area. The material disk will pump energy to those particles, and the observer can follow those oscillations from outside the material disk. 

One of the most fascinating versions of the data transmission from that ultimate high-energy area is to use superpositioned and entangled particle pairs. The material disk will pump energy to particle that is in it. And then another particle will receive information that the first particle sends. That probe will act basically without electronics. The system must only put a particle pair. Where another particle is in the lower energy level. To the superposition and entanglement. When the probe closes the black hole, its material disk will raise the particles' energy level in the probe, called Cosimo Bambi can transfer data to the receiver. 

The Cosimo Bambi can make this journey to 20-25 light-years away from Earth. But the problem is this. There are no known black holes in that distance. The mission will be completed in about 70 years. But that requires. There is a black hole in that distance. The closest known black hole is 1560 light-years from Earth. And that means the mission is doomed to fail if there is no black hole closer to Earth. 

The probe could use quantum technology and high-power lasers to travel near black holes. But there is one problem: the distance to the closest known black hole is enormous. There is possiblity that there is a black hole just 20-25. light-years away from the Earth. But there should be a confirmed black hole in that distance that the probe can reach it. 

The problem is always similar. The key problem is how to take this probe close enough to the black hole. The closest known black hole is about 1560 light-years away from Earth. That means the journey to that black hole takes a very long time. But the black hole probe gives interesting ideas for the futuristic quantum computers. 

Maybe this is possible in the future...

This keeps the transmitting side in quantum entanglement on a higher energy level than the receiving particle. These kinds of systems can also be used to create new types of quantum computers. The idea is that the transmitting sides of the quantum entanglements are at extremely high temperatures. And the receiving particle's energy level is as low as possible. If the system can use a black hole for that purpose, the quantum computer can put an artificial, or small primordial black hole, into the ball-sized chamber. Then the data will be driven to transmitter particles that are in the capsules. 

Then the quantum computer will send those capsules to the black hole. And the plasma around it keeps the transmitter-side particles in a higher energy level than the receiving particles. Maybe. This kind of system can operate using the regular, high-energy plasma. The idea is that the data will transfer to the transmitting particles that are in the capsule. The capsule that can be some kind of fullerene will act like a yoyo. 

The system will send it to the plasma. When plasma or some kind of EM field is around the capsule. And its energy level rises all the time. That helps to keep the transmitter side temperature in the quantum entanglement at a higher level. The temperature in the receiving particles can be as low as possible. That maximizes the time that the system can sustain quantum entanglement.
