Researchers Achieve Quantum Teleportation Between Two Macroscopic Objects For The First Time
Quantum Teleportation Explained In case you want to try this at home. Xiao-Hui Bao, et al. via arXivThe quantum internet is coming, and this is how we're going to get there. Sometimes it's tough to get excited about stuff happening in quantum technologies, not because it's anything less than fascinating but because it can be so hard to wrap your head around this stuff and anyhow the practical applications often seem very far away. But this is one of those milestones that you have to appreciate: Physicists have for the first time teleported quantum information from one macroscopic object to another. Researchers have been able to teleport quantum information for a while now. Quick quantum primer: This isn't Star Trek-style teleportation, but the transfer of information--of quantum states--from one place to another without that information crossing the space between them in any way. This is achieved through the strange quantum phenomenon...
