TURKU, Finland — Beam me up, Scotty! In a study that seems straight out of a “Star Trek” episode, an international team of researchers has achieved a remarkable feat in the realm of quantum teleportation. They have successfully conducted near-perfect quantum teleportation despite the presence of noise that typically disrupts the transfer of quantum states.
Quantum teleportation is a process in which the state of a quantum particle, or qubit, is transferred from one location to another without physically sending the particle itself. This transfer requires quantum resources, such as entanglement between an additional pair of qubits.
Oh man, this is going to be exciting for you then. Quantum mechanics is breaking all sorts of laws of physics that were previously assumed to be inviolable.
Healthy skepticism is good, but the more you read about this, the crazier it gets. Quantum entanglement requires an entirely new understanding of dimensional spacetime.
