Uninterceptible communication would be one application



> With this, the international research team has also made an important step towards practical applications such as a future quantum internet, since high-dimensional quantum systems can transport larger amounts of information than qubits. "This result could help to connect quantum computers with information capacities beyond qubits", says Anton Zeilinger, quantum physicist at the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the University of Vienna, about the innovative potential of the new method.

I wonder how a quantum internet would be different than the binary one.


Incorrect. You still need to transfer classical bits of information from source to receiver for teleportation to work - without which the success probability is provably 0.

If these bits are blocked, no teleportation happens.
