The article seems to imply the data was transported 1 meter/nanosecond, or about 3 times c.

Current theory does not hold that all quantum interactions are c-limited. But current theory does require that information transfer is c-limited (and teleportation is definitely "information transfer.") But I wouldn't draw any firm conclusions from an article in the popular press. First read the scientific paper, then draw conclusions. These popular articles are best used as a "heads up" for delving deeper into areas of interest.

There are so many basic physics errors in the post that it's impossible to tell what, if anything, the scientists accomplished.

"We aren't over the hump yet?" It appears Not.

I agree. It's likely the case that the total information delay, from the time that the information is set irrevocably in the transmitter, to the time the information is definitely recognized at the receiver, is more than enough to make the system subluminal. It's still a useful development, though.

But will we have to take off our shoes before entering the transporter booth?
Here's a thought, though: if someone's a wanted terrorist, we can (a) beam him directly into a prison cell or (b) beam him to a point 30,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean.

"I think teleporting of that kind is very, very far away," Dr Lam said. "We don't know how to do that with a single atom yet.
What a joke. Why was the comparison to star trek even made? We will never teleport people anywhere.
