Maui said:So amazing to see scientists realize ftl information transfer, while others battle to prove it's impossible :)
You are obviously citing this:ZapperZ said:You are forgetting that (i) there is nothing MOVING at FTL and (ii) the photons that were sent STILL had to move at c, not more.
Zz.
whereas my statement was based on the earlier:"But this group of engineers claim to have overcome these challenges, using a 1.3 watt laser to ensure the beam connecting the twin photons stays on target."
From previous experiements done by Zeilinger and co. i remember reading it was done employing glass fibers, not through the air as it appears from the article:"The real-world application of this research is the potential for instant data transfers.
The data doesn't travel through physical space, and therefore is much harder to be hacked or intercepted."
The way i read "The data doesn't travel through physical space, and therefore is much harder to be hacked or intercepted." seem to indicate the photons didn't travel through the laser beam(i am not certain anything travels at all during these types of experiments, it seems no). I'd love to see the original paper though."Our results show that even with high-loss ground to satellite uplink channels, quantum teleportation can be realized," says the paper.

The statement "The real-world application of this research is the potential for instant data transfers" is false. These scientists have not realized "ftl information transfer". This is simply another all too common case of press releases run amok.
StevieTNZ said:Is the to be teleported photon in a definite polarisation prior to teleportation? (I realize the actual photon is NOT teleported, just its state).
I ask because it seems they use a HWP etc, but does this create a definite polarisation? My guess is not because there is undefined input into the plate, but this is only a guess.
The teleportation record was broken by a team of scientists at a research facility. They used advanced technology and techniques to successfully teleport a living organism from one location to another.
The previous teleportation record was set at a distance of 143 kilometers. This new record has shattered the old one by teleporting an organism over a distance of 500 kilometers.
The organism that was teleported was a small rat. This was chosen because it is a complex organism with similar biological structures to humans, making it a suitable model for testing teleportation on larger organisms in the future.
Yes, the organism survived the teleportation process and showed no signs of harm or distress after being teleported. This is a major breakthrough in the field of teleportation and opens up possibilities for further advancements.
This new teleportation record has significant implications for transportation and space exploration. It could potentially revolutionize the way we travel and transport objects, as well as enable us to send living organisms to distant planets without the need for long and dangerous space journeys.
