It may not lead to Star Trek teleportation, but researchers have revealed a major breakthrough in quantum teleportation.
Researchers succeeded in teleporting information about the quantum state of a photon, a particle of light, over 15.5 miles (25 kilometers) of optical fiber to a crystal 'memory bank,' setting a new record of distance traveled in this manner.
The research could have implications for cryptography, which involves transmitting information securely, including communications between Earth and spacecraft.
