“The idea is not that the physical object is teleported but the information that describes it. This can then be applied to a similar object in a new location which effectively takes on the new identity.”
I’m an economist not a physicist but this doesn’t sound like teleportation to me. Rather it is the transmission of information not the transmission of an object.
Will someone more enlightened inform an ignorant economist what I’m missing?

This is not good. Not good at all. This might give the ChiComms unbreakable communications encryption. Hopefully NSA is already past this point and working on ways to disrupt this kind of communications encryption. The ChiComms are known for selling their MILTech to rogue nations, terrorists and Narco-smugglers, so this could be a game-changer on many fronts if they figure out how to field this.

“Teleporting photons”?...
When I was in boy scouts, i teleported photons all the way to the surface of the moon, with my green BSA flashlight.
This is Chicoms, bragging about being Chicoms.
Commie nonsense.

Teleportation is a cool idea, I mean, what could go wrong?

They teleported photons by using photons?

"The idea is not that the physical object is teleported but the information that describes it. This can then be applied to a similar object in a new location which effectively takes on the new identity."
The task uses a 1.3-watt laser "and some fancy optics" to beam those photons and retrieve them at the final location. The trick seems to be maintaining the photons' information, since the beam widens over space, but eventually teleportation of this sort could be used to beam information incredibly quickly up to satellites.
Gee, we can already beam information at the speed of light up to satellites.

Teleport Dear Leader to Fidel's residence in Havana and let them argue who's the best communist in the room (while Barry wonders what happened).
