Instant Quantum Communication Is Near
fljmayer writes "In this experiment, researchers in Australia and Japan were able to transfer quantum information from one place to another without having to physically move it. It was destroyed in one place and instantly resurrected in another, 'alive' again and unchanged. This is a major advance, as previous teleportation experiments were either very slow or caused some information to be lost."
Sorry I'm posting from a quantum computer... And also not posting....
Neither Australia nor Japan is close to me, so unfortunately Instant Quantum Communication Is Not Near.
Better known as 318230.

Not really.
Your post shows you have read neither the summary or the article.
And your cat is dead.
Sig Battery depleted. Reverting to safe mode.
The original article will post six hours from now... but what is 'now'?
Colonel Sandurz: Try here. Stop.
Dark Helmet: What the hell am I looking at? When does this happen in the movie?
Colonel Sandurz: Now. You're looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now, is happening now.
Dark Helmet: What happened to then?
Colonel Sandurz: We passed then.
Dark Helmet: When?
Colonel Sandurz: Just now. We're at now now.
Dark Helmet: Go back to then.
Colonel Sandurz: When?
Dark Helmet: Now.
Colonel Sandurz: Now?
Dark Helmet: Now.
Colonel Sandurz: I can't.
Dark Helmet: Why?
Colonel Sandurz: We missed it.
Dark Helmet: When?
Colonel Sandurz: Just now.
Dark Helmet: When will then be now?
Colonel Sandurz: Soon.
Dark Helmet: How soon?
Sorry, you have reached your Quantum limit here at Comcast, you are now at 56kbps speeds.
If he read neither the post nor the summary, then why would you assume he bothered checking the status of the cat?
This is the kind of comment that gets you slapped with a trout.
Yeah fox news is coming in from the future. Problem is that it is the future of a completely different universe.
