By increasing the voltage to a very high level, large quantities of electricity can be
transmitted over long distances with little loss of power.
However, such photon states decay when
transmitted over long distances, for example, due to mode coupling in fibre or turbulence in free space, thus requiring a way to amplify the signal.
