The quantum teleportation, however, will be used in new type of superpowerful computers
Teleportation is an instant transportation of an object from one place to another. Needless to say that science fiction writers have been using this phenomenon in their works for many years. It was generally believed that teleportation was impossible, for it contradicted to all scientific laws imaginable. Teleportation, however, came into real life in 2004. There is another description of the phenomenon, when an object disintegrates in one place, while its physical properties and characteristics are recreated somewhere else.
Scientists from all over the world have been conducting experiments during recent several years, as they tried to teleport quantum states of various particles. The research, which was conducted in 40 scientific laboratories of the world, is highly important for the creation of the new generation of superpowerful quantum computers. The new type of computers would transmit information by means of teleportation; it would be measured in q-bits, not bits.
On 21 April 2004, Austrian scientists performed the first commercial transaction with the use of quantum cryptography. A physics professor at Vienna University, Anton Zeilinger, wired 3,000 euros from the city hall to the nearest bank department. The money was wired on the optic fiber with the code packed in the quantum state of photon. This is the most secure way to transmit information. The key of the code was produced in the bank on the crystal, which transformed the laser photon in pairs of entangled photons. One photon of each pair was kept in the bank, while the other one was sent to the city hall. It is possible to separate the photons into two lines, having measured their polarization. The lines can be used as the key.
The interconnection of objects on the quantum level is similar to the interconnection of physical objects and phenomena. It is virtually the complete similarity of informational channels, which exist between particles in the microcosm. Unfortunately, the quantum teleportation is useless to teleport humans from one location to another. The informational process in the technology takes much more time than one-thousandth seconds, which keep the connection between the point of disembodiment and the point of reconstruction. That is why the quantum teleportation gives no safety guarantee to living beings.
Quantum Mechanics: The dreams stuff is made of.
GOOD ONE! I'LL STEAL IT!.......
Takes me home
TIMELINE! Great Book! Sorry-ass movie.....
But everyone told me the movie was so lame that I never went to see it.
I was so disappointed in the movie! It was so bad, it was like the only thing they used from the book was the title! They turned it into a love story and the special effects were juvenile. It's about as bad a the DUNE movies on Sci-Fi channel.......
Acutally the first Dune Mini was good. The second one was bad, well the real reason why I didn't watch the movie was due to the fact that Susan Saranwrap was in it..
But can we teleport piles of dog * to Katie Couric?
Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way and leave it on her porch in a flaming paper sack? I wanna be close enough to see her stomp it out.
Andromeda Strain and the first Jurassic Park film are exceptions, but he needs to do a better job of who he sells the film rights to.
"It's no use Jim."
I'm still waiting for the seltzer-shooting telephone.
What ever happened to that ?!!
The first "Dune" miniseries was very good. The follow-up "Children of Dune" was horrendous. I really didn't care about anyone in that one, I just wanted it to end.
I avoided the whole thing..
That would be a good tag line. :')
