May names be submitted for teleporting. As volunteers of course.

[Vaquero]

Well beam me up Scotty!

[Zathras]

Can we teleport Pelosi back to her home planet?
It works...we win, if it doesn’t work...we still win!

[Jonty30]

Save on gas ping.

[Jonty30]

I’ll be second.

[rktman]

Oh, I’m not going. Just possibly want to gift surprise some ‘volunteers’. 😊

[Bullish]

Whoa, that’s a lot of jargon.

[cuban leaf]

You guys are catching on. I can’t say much, but I can now say this: Teleportation is not about staying in this universe. That is the key!

You can thank me later. In fact, you can thank me in 42 years.

[Red Badger]

You’re welcome..................

The new method enables the identification of W states in a “one-shot” measurement, eliminating the need for repeated trials. In tests with groups of three entangled photons, the team demonstrated that their device can reliably distinguish between different types of states. The system proved stable, able to run independently for long periods, and consistently accurate in its measurements.

Is communication using such a technique limited by the speed of light?

[Red Badger]

Yes, No and Maybe.................

> the idea that the state of one particle could instantly affect another, no matter how far apart they were <

I wonder if that’s due to this fact: Distance is a relative thing. Meaning two people could measure the distance between two objects, get different answers, yet both be correct from their point of view.

So “far apart” is a relative thing. It’s a consequence of Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.

> the long-elusive W state of quantum entanglement <

That better not have anything to do with George W. Bush. Because everything he touches turns to sh!t.

🤔

Show off!😛

“Meaning two people could measure the distance between two objects, get different answers, yet both be correct from their point of view.”

Happens to me in my shop by myself all the time.

[econjack]

I was right! This works exactly like I said it would:

Particles are placed in their states, and...SHAZAM!...there is a new state.

I need to finish a few of the details in the SHAZAM part...

[Red Badger]

> Happens to me in my shop by myself all the time. <

Ha! The old saying is “Measure twice, cut once.”

But I’m much too impatient for that. So I guess once, cut wrong, then go to the store for more wood.

Can the Japs finally teleport Mr. Sulu to an unknown planet?

[week 71]

I wonder what AI will be able to put together regarding some of the mysteries in the Quantum world in the near future. Interesting times.
