Science fiction closer to fact

From the article:
An encoded radio signal is embedded on an input laser, which is combined with entanglement and then scanned. The laser is destroyed in the process.

But the radio signal survives and is sent electronically to a receiving station, where within a nanosecond an exact replica of the beam -- with the radio signal intact -- is retrieved and decoded.

If the signal has to get sent electronically, where is the big savings in transport time? Am I missing something?

First read the scientific paper, then draw conclusions

For instance, see my post on this thread

Think of the movie "The Fly"..."Help me! Help me!...."

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

It's a hot topic amongst physicists everywhere. Perhaps we can find a better-written article.

OK, if there is a clearer article, please ping me. Thanks!

Quantum teleporting is problematic for humans because the original is destroyed in the process of creating the replica.

Can we start with Hillery first?

I read a Scifi story once about when teleporting was coming into vogue and one of the charactors teleported to an art gallery opening from his friends car.
He materialized in the art gallery ok but he was doing 60 miles per hour,
right into one of the walls.
