Another one for the “kinda cool” category. A joint team from the University of Maryland and University of Michigan have declared the ability to generate “long-distance” (1-meter) teleportation. They apparently managed to teleport the quantum state of two atoms a meter apart. It reminds me of compact disks coming from Einstein’s work on photons and photoelectric effect. Is it just me or is it really weird and kind of scary that we could possibly harness and use forces we have absolutely no real understanding of.

    omg. i’m really impressed. the most i would figure is maybe a cm… but a meter! if only i could live to see the day when people get teleported… i still can’t get over cloning.
