Instant Quantum Communication Is Near

Posted by timothy on from the by-the-time-you-read-this dept.

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."

    Yes. Yes, of course there is. Unfortunately, there is no law of physics limiting the scope of journalistic hyperbole.

    No. This has been possible to do for millennia. We've finally got around to actually attempting it.

    There is no law, there is just an equation. It must always be balanced.
