Scientists are performing “quantum teleportation” at a distance for the first time

Sresearchers have demonstrated quantum teleportation – sending small units of quantum information known as qubiti – for the first time.

The Qubits were transferred more than 27 miles and moved faster than the speed of light.

Scientists hope that this “quantum” teleportation‘could completely revolutionize how computers work.

Quantum communication systems would be faster and more secure than ordinary Internet networks today.

The discovery was made by a group led by Caltech, with experts from Fermilab, AT&T, Harvard University, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the University of Calgary.

“This is a key achievement in building a technology that redefines the way we conduct global communication.”

The study, which was distributed in PRX Quantum, said the “teleportation” was instantaneous – in fact, it was actually faster than the speed of light – and the researchers found that there was a “over 90 percentt fidelity the duck’.

“Fidelity” is what is used to measure how close the final qubit signal was to the one originally sent.

Talking to Vice, Spentzouris added: “We wanted to push the envelope for this type of research and take important steps on a path to realize both real-life applications for quantum communications and networks and to test fundamental ideas of physics..

“So, when we finally succeeded, the team was delighted, very proud to have achieved these high-quality, record results.

“And we are very excited that we can move on to the next phase, using the know-how and technologies from this to the implementation of quantum networks.”

increase Spiropulu, Shang-Yi Ch’en professor of physics at Caltech, said: “We are very proud to have achieved this stage in sustainable, high-performance and scalable quantum teleportation systems.
