Quantum Teleportation Is Real, Here’s How It Works

Scientists successfully achieved earth-to-space quantum teleportation, but what exactly does that mean? How Quantum Computing Will Change The World! - Read More: Teleportation: Photon particles today, humans tomorrow? “Chinese scientists say they have “teleported“ a photon particle from the ground to a satellite orbiting 1,400km (870 miles) away. For many, however, teleportation evokes something much more exotic. Is a world previously confined to science fiction now becoming reality? Well, sort of. But we are not likely to be beaming ourselves to the office or a beach in the Bahamas anytime soon. Sorry.” China Demonstrates First Intercontinental Quantum Communication “The first public demonstration of long distance quantum communication came a few weeks after China unveiled a new 1,240-mile-long optic-fiber quantum communication network between Beijing and Shanghai for the “military, finance, and government affairs fields.” In May, Chinese researchers announced a new quantum computer that they claimed was 24,000 times faster than competing designs, too.” Quantum Data Storage in a Single Atom Brings New Computing Era Closer to Reality “We’re on the verge of a quantum computing revolution. Entirely new devices will replace tiny transistors on silicon chips with atomic-scale processors capable of executing exponentially more calculations per second than today’s biggest and fastest supercomputers.” ____________________ Seeker inspires us to see the world through the lens of science and evokes a sense of curiosity, optimism and adventure.
