Teleportation: Behind the Science of Quantum Computing

Teleportation: Behind the Science of Quantum Computing
 It might seem like something straight from the Star Trek universe, but two new research experiments—one involving a photon and the other involving a super-conducting circuit—have successfully demonstrated the teleportation of quantum bits.
 The advances these two research groups have made may improve the way quantum bits are sent, leading to faster processors and larger-scale encryption technologies.
