From Dictionary.com:

teleport: verb: to transport (a body) by telekinesis.

Transporting data is not the same, particularly because they apparently replicated the data (without actually physically moving it).

No, not beaming humans aboard the USS Enterprise

How disappointing. What good is it, then?

The NSA has denied any recording of the transmitted data for future mining...

"... about 10 feet [emphasis added] away."

I'm not a fan of still-used-in-USA medieval English measuring units. So it's “interesting” to see "feet" showing up in an article concerning cutting-edge scientific discovery.

IMHO one of the greatest discovery ever made.

Very nearly everything in this article is wrong. No "data" is transmitted. No "information" is transmitted. Quantum computing does not depend on teleportation, per se. The experiment is not new. Bell's Theorem experiments have been going on for a very long time, and the current experiment is simply a slight improvement in ruling out something called the "locality loophole." Not revolutionary. Not earth-shattering.

Now that we have the physical layer, can we put TCP/IP over top of it so I can download Game of Thrones faster than the speed of light?

I would not want to have my atoms scrambled, because I have no guarantee that it will be me on the other side.

However, I would be willing to send anybody here, even unwillingly to see what would happen.

Instantaneous communication between earth and mars maybe? If so it certainly solves some problems.

You mean I can’t say: ‘Beam me up, Scotty’ yet? Darn...I guess I’ll have to wait.

“Quantum teleportation is not teleportation in the sense one might think”

Yes, let me redefine the terms then sure, it’s teleportation.

I call BS on this article. Also, there isn’t any way for them to measure if something happened faster than the speed of light.

No transporters, but could be used for sub-space radio.

Words. Intended to communicate. But sometimes they seem to get in the way instead. Like in articles I’d greatly like to understand. Alas. ( and no, I didn’t have “sex” with that woman, miss Lewinsky....)
