It has previously been achieved between photons (a unit, or quantum, of electromagnetic radiation, such as light) over very large distances, between photons and ensembles of atoms, and between two nearby atoms through the intermediary action of a third.
None of those, however, provides a feasible means of holding and managing quantum information over long distances.
Now the JQI team, along with colleagues at the University of Michigan, has succeeded in teleporting a quantum state directly from one atom to another over a meter.
I hope they knock the people out with gas first. Wouldn’t want to be awake for it!
Longer than you think!
Nice.
Adree was in first.
I don’t bother reading any Adree post without pictures.
