Teleportation

Cool, thanks for info.If I understand it correctly, and we could increase the distances, then it could make real-time communication possible with space probes or a mars base ect. That would be very useful in many ways such as an emergency. That is the first thing that pops into my mind.Edited by fearandloathing, : No reason given.

I could be wrong, but this leads me to believe otherwise about real-time communication over distance using lasers, space is a better place then the atmosphere. Up and down-link to satellites could still use RF and laser for orbit to orbit coms.

Quantum teleportation experiments have used beams of light to encode qubits. The encoded beam of light, described as quantum entangled, is split in two, then, when a qubit at one receiver is observed and takes a defined form, the 'other half' of the same qubit at the other receiver takes the same defined form at the same moment, regardless of the distance separating the receivers. It is not possible to predict which state a qubit will take before it is observed, so no useful information can be encoded into an entangled stream which cannot be encoded into a regular light or laser beam.

Quantum teleportation - WikipediaAbE, after having a little more time to read and look into this it seems I am a moron once again. Skimming over a article or paper is always asking for trouble, especially when the subject is far beyond my understanding as a lay person.Hope every one had a good mothers day.Edited by fearandloathing, : No reason given.Edited by fearandloathing, : No reason given.Edited by fearandloathing, : No reason given.
