Austrian Physicists 'Teleport' Light Over 600m

Posted by simoniker on from the particular dept.

openSoar writes "The BBC is reporting that: 'Physicists have carried out successful teleportation with particles of light over a distance of 600m across the River Danube in Austria. When physicists say 'teleportation', they are describing the transfer of key properties from one particle to another without a physical link.'"

    "One interesting point to note is that, if it were possible to transport a person via this process, the trip would appear to be instantaneous. Although travel would occur at the speed of light, no time would appear to pass for the traveller. Cool."

    Duplicate stories on Slashdot would be a wonderful benefit to these heroic travelers!
