Quantum Teleportation Achieved Over 16 km In China

Posted by timothy on from the can-feel-it-from-here dept.

Laxori666 writes "Scientists in China have succeeded in teleporting information between photons farther than ever before. They transported quantum information over a free space distance of 16 km (10 miles), much farther than the few hundred meters previously achieved, which brings us closer to transmitting information over long distances without the need for a traditional signal."

    There is no "quantum shit going on" that breaks special relativity. Attention world: Once and for all, quantum theory does not break relativity.

    How right you are, and I have an elegant theory of quantum gravity that reconciles quantum mechanics with general relativity. Unfortunately, my proof is too large to fit in this forum post.
