Quantum Telecloning Demonstrated?
An anonymous reader writes "According to Physorg eavesdropping on a quantum encrypted link can now be done without detection. From the article: 'The scientists have succeeded in making the first remote copies of beams of laser light, by combining quantum cloning with quantum teleportation into a single experimental step. Telecloning is more efficient than any combination of teleportation and local cloning because it relies on a new form of quantum entanglement - multipartite entanglement.' There is also a PDF of a related paper available here for background material."
but I'm starting to get discouraged now that the already hard to grasp concepts of quantum mechanics are being infused with new more complicated forms. In the end I just want to know if we can teleport ourselves cause I'm tired of my f'ing commute.

There is such a place, but the lesson plan is a nightmare.
Just as you think you know where your next lesson is you rush to get there to realise you've already missed it.
Finding out if the lecturers are still alive after opening the classroom door is an entirely different and wholey worrying scenario unto itself.
