This isn't teleporting as far as I can tell. They're still using a transmission medium (fiber, laser). There is no instant appearance of the information at the target, photons are still constrained by the speed of light.

- evincarofautumn 14y agoSomehow I wouldn’t expect teleportation to be faster than light, even if the information doesn’t actually travel through the intervening space.
- RuggeroAltair 14y agoThe information does not travel faster than light.
- norswap 14y agoAgreed, also the phrase "Teleportation turns out to be extremely useful. Because teleported information does not travel through the intervening space, it cannot be secretly accessed by an eavesdropper. " confused the heck out of me.
- unreal37 14y agoThe information isn't being transmitted. Only the "public key" to read the information is transmitted from A to B. The information magically appears at B because of quantum entanglement. It's brilliant!
