Note that this is "teleportation" of quantum information and not teleportation of matter. To the layman, referring to this sort of thing as teleportation seems a bit misleading to me.
- maushu 14y agoI concur, but still, instant teleportation of information? Awesome. No more lag because of distance, no wires, no radiation... the future is going to be awesome. I wonder, since this experimented worked on macroscopic scale, it will possible to transmit "energy"?
- derekdahmer 14y agoQuantum teleportation does not allow for faster-than-light information transition. While changing particle A makes particle B change, the second's information can't be understood without transmitting a third piece of information from A to B. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_teleportation#A_summary http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_teleportation#A_summary
- bones6 14y agoEven if it's not faster than light I'm hoping for teleportation that means no line of sight required and distance boundless wireless transmission. I could totally settle for that.
- olalonde 14y agoDoes that mean that Quantum teleportation will never have practical applications? If you need to send a third piece of information at the speed of light or slower, why not send all your information through that channel?
- joeyespo 14y agoFrom what I've been reading it's mostly for security, not speed. Using Quantum teleportation, nobody can get any useful data from intercepting that third piece of information.
- maushu 14y agoYou lied to me. :( Quantum teleportation is faster than light
