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."
I was just gonna say that...
:)
Seriously though, no matter how much I learn/study/pay tuition, there're always posts that make me realize how little I know about anything.
It's both humbling and inspiring.
Off topic, but someone had to say it...
