Quantum Dots Might Be Key For Teleportation

prostoalex writes "Researchers from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have created a model teleportation system using quantum dots. PhysOrg reports that 'tiny clusters of atoms known as quantum dots may be excellent media for quantum teleportation, a physics phenomenon in which information — in the form of a quantum state, a very specific mathematical signature of an atom — can be transmitted almost instantaneously to a distant location without having to physically travel through space.'"

Biggest Hurdle so far is figuring out how to stop the quantum pac-man who keeps eating them.

It depends on what kind of nuclear reactors.

Are we talking about Africa or European reactors? And secondly how would two reactors carry the quantum dots? With a line or a strand of creeper?

And, I've found, a good place to stop understanding quantum mechanics is looking into more advanced variations of the experiment.
