I was wondering if anyone was working on teleportation. Seems it won't be possible in the way one may be thinking if we think in terms of Star Trek or Wonkavision teleportation (transporting objects or even people across space to be re-assembled). But some level of teleportation might be possible according to this article in the NYTimes:
- "Light Study Backs Teleportation, But Don't Try Beaming Up Yet": Scientists performing so-called quantum teleportation experiments reportedly destroyed particles of light and resurrected copies more than mile away; findings could aid in sending of unbreakable coded messages, which is limited to few tens of miles; experiments described (S) Employing a facet of quantum mechanics that Albert Einstein called ''spooky action at a distance,'' scientists have taken particles of light, destroyed them and then resurrected copies more than a mile away.
Previous experiments in so-called quantum teleportation moved particles of light about a yard. The findings could aid the sending of unbreakable coded messages, which is limited to a few tens of miles.
