True. In fact, you would first have to travel(really really slowly) to the location that you wish to communicate with before you could set any of this up.Nice but alot yall didn't read the article. They are not teleporting matter. This is going to make the internet and computers so much faster
Also, for my dragonBall brehs like @Paper Boi , this could theoretically be the first step towards "instant transmission". Once you have this damn near instant data transfer, all you need is a way to convert that data into matter or useful energy on the other end. Sadly, you wouldn't be teleporting, per se, you would just be copying data to another spot. The original data, whether its quantum bits or macroparticles would still exist at the first destination.
Of course, all of the above is still decades in the future. But I'm hopeful for better applications soon. What great time to be alive

you are conflating two different effects
superposition vs entanglement
both quantum effects

Then explain brother
damn. They finally figured out how to use quantum entanglement. As a compEng who had to deal heavy in physics, I thought this was a pipe dream. This will revolutionizes communication.
Ladies and gentlemen we are officially in the future
I immediately see 2 benefits in this. One good and one bad.
- First, quicker communication should work wonders for stock traders and investment firms because an increase in the speed of information transfer can easily result in billions of dollars in revenue. The effect will be similar to when Edison figured out 2-way telegraph connection on the same telegraph line in the 1870s.
Second, in military applications.
- this easily disadvantages 3rd world nations(mostly black) who could legitimately be blown up and left behind in the time it took them to send old school communication from one point on the battlefield to another point using traditional EM waves.
- Also, the pentagon is already using computer models for real-time simulation of battlefield events. This increased (almost instant) computational speed should result in crazy models that lesser nations could not keep up with, as their every action on a battlefield is determined before they even make it.
Also, there may be huge benefits for interplanetary and intersolar travel. But thats in the long term.....
- For instance, because we are limited to lightspeed communication, long distance communication from Marsto earth could take up to 4min in one direction because photons must travel the entire distance at the speed of light.
- Previously, this made communicating with an astronaut (in an emergency) impossible. Because of this impossiblity, an error in life support systems would have killed astronauts before they could request help from Houston on Earth in how to fix it.
- Future astronauts who communicate by changing one entangled particle on mars could legitimately get feedback through another particle on Earth in a fraction of a millisecond now
@Rhakim, you usually add great clarity to these discussions, I would love to hear your opinion on my thoughts presented above.
First off, from what I can tell this is a practical breakthrough not a theoretical one. We've been plotting on this shyt for almost 30 years but just haven't figured out the technical side. Now it appears a technical breakthrough has been made.
But to be clear, unless something incredible and fundamental has changed, you CANNOT communicate any information faster than the speed of light. Strangely, this quantum entanglement breakthrough does not actually increase the speed at which information can travel. The reasons behind that are really complex and difficult to describe without taking a crash course in quantum behavior first, but measuring quantumly entangled particles can cause an instantaneous change occur absolutely any distance but that change doesn't give you the information in itself. To make a rough analogy its as if someone sent you an instantaneous message that was 100% gibberish, and simultaneously sent you the code for the message over fiber optics. You can see the first message immediately, but you don't know what it says until you get the code.
So this won't actually increase the speed of long-distance or interstellar messaging at all. What it will do, if some of the more radical ideas are realized, is allow advances in coding and in transferring information to the point where you might actually create unbreakable encrypted codes. The "message" sent by the entangled quantum particles would not be readable by any outside viewer (since to read it would immediately break entanglement), and the code sent by traditional means would be useless without the entangled particles, so the person who uses the code to "read" the entangled particles would have a 100% guarantee that no one in-between could have intercepted the message. There might be other advantages I'm unaware of but encryption is the one I always saw focused on.
Other aspects of quantum computing will potentially bring a new era of more complex computing with processing power far faster than currently available. Basically, rather than interacting with bits of information in a "1" or "0" state, they'll be able to compute with things still in their entangled quantum states where infinite superpositions of states between "1" and "0" can be held simultaneously. Far, far more information possible without increasing the # of particles involved.
Yes but they're very closely related. Things have to be in a quantum superposition in order to create quantum entanglement, and quantum computing and quantum communications will likely develop hand in hand.

Yep, things that are closely related are often conflated ..
Had to read because no way in hell we instantly transmitting people without splitting our atoms to shyt.
But yeah... Some areas getting up to 2tb of speed. Don't see why shyt can get faster.
