Wonder of Science: Quantum Teleportation Between Two Cities
Published by Teleportation is not just a possibility that exists in science fiction movies. Researchers were able to teleport photons over a distance equivalent to that between New York and Philadelphia.
This only change state quantum teleportation of a photon and transfer information at lightning speed. Through this process, quantum particles invisible connection between them in space.
They can change their characteristics depending on the situation. For example, if one is polarized vertically and the other horizontally, quantum mechanics is possible that this feature remain undecided until one is measured.
Thus, these conditions change, even if they are miles between particles. Basically, such a move a remote object is not yet possible, the procedure is performed only at the quantum level.
Teleportation process is not very fast, it is not done instantly. Scientists hope its discovery the basis of future quantum computers, since information is transferred to the astonishing speed with such procedures. Communications are thus safer over long distances.
The Chinese have made their quantum teleportation and a distance of 97 km, Lake Qinghai, according to an article in the journal “Nature” published on 9 august.
