Research has brought quantum communication and computing closer to reality
From Friction to fact Breakthrough in Teleportation
London: “Beaming” people as in the star movie “Star Trek” is still in the realms of science fiction but physicists in Denmark have teleported (breaking down matter at one point and assembling it at another) information from light to matter, bringing quantum communication and computing closer to reality. In science fiction , teleportation devices convert a person or object into an energy pattern in a process called dematerialization, then “beam” it to a target, where it is reconverted into matter.
Until now scientists have teleported similar object such as light or single atoms over short distance from one spot to another in a split second. But Professor Eugene Polzik and his team at the Neil’s Bohr Institute at Copenhagen University in Denmark have made a breakthrough by using both light and matter.
