Quantum Teleportation Is Real, Here's How It Works

Scientists successfully achieved earth-to-space quantum teleportation, but what exactly does that mean?

Teleportation: Photon particles today, humans tomorrow?
“Chinese scientists say they have "teleported" a photon particle from the ground to a satellite orbiting 1,400km (870 miles) away. For many, however, teleportation evokes something much more exotic. Is a world previously confined to science fiction now becoming reality? Well, sort of. But we are not likely to be beaming ourselves to the office or a beach in the Bahamas anytime soon. Sorry.”

China Demonstrates First Intercontinental Quantum Communication
“The first public demonstration of long distance quantum communication came a few weeks after China unveiled a new 1,240-mile-long optic-fiber quantum communication network between Beijing and Shanghai for the “military, finance, and government affairs fields.” In May, Chinese researchers announced a new quantum computer that they claimed was 24,000 times faster than competing designs, too.”

Quantum Data Storage in a Single Atom Brings New Computing Era Closer to Reality
“We’re on the verge of a quantum computing revolution. Entirely new devices will replace tiny transistors on silicon chips with atomic-scale processors capable of executing exponentially more calculations per second than today’s biggest and fastest supercomputers.”

I hate when I get quantum entanglements in my hair. I have to use my quantum detanglementizing hairbrush and that thing is spooky, even close up.

All I got to know is that he is obsessed to Mark Ruffalo

[whyisgamora]

I'm not sure if I'm just pretending to understand what's being said, or actually understand what's being said..

[alexeecs]

"How does quantum teleportation work?"

"It's spooky action at a distance."

"Oh thanks that explains everything."

Your glasses remind me of safety glasses in a lab.

[Ebani]

You said absolutely nothing about quantum teleportation lmao

[Afanasii_Kamenkoi]

If teleportation means I need to be disintegrated so that my clone can be assembled from my particles somewhere else, I'd rather walk.
Doesn't matter if everyone else is doing it, I want to live.

I didnt need this, i watch rick and morty

[dark-cofv]

its quantum entanglement for god sake. not teleportation

[eaftseh]

You lost me at “Oh Crap, I Wore My Red Shirt!”

[shacquorecrosby]

Who else click the vid knowing that they wouldn't understand a word

[devyn]

Imagine if twins were born with entangled protons in their brains and thats where all those cases of twins being able to communicate over thoughts or feel when the other is in distress came from

[lyvii]

I hope that in future we can ACTUALLY teleport

[richardhumphrys]

I only wanted to find out if Amazon can teleport a parcel into my kitchen lol

[NewMessage]

It apparently requires a gigantic tardigrade though.

[Austin_Hart]

I can't unsee the Mark Ruffalo reference. Now, I half-expect Trace to hulk out.

[oci]

Since it normally takes 20 minutes to send a radio message to mars, couldn’t this be used to have instant communication potentially across light years of distance

[DavidBrown]

Hey Trace, do you think you guys could make another video on this discovery or point me in the direction to learn more? This is super interesting, but I am a confused a bit. If observing photo "data" changes it, how was it possible to know that it was the same spin on the other side?

[microbuilder]

Whats the red shirt intro thing? Star Trek reference to the poor red shirt ensigns that always die?

Teleportation ...till now we are able to teleport Data from one place. To an other place with speed of light...but To transfer Matter some thing Physically will be an unbelievable teleportation....physically transfering of bodies or goods from one place to an other place...will be a game changer concept in travelling and transporting of goods....RGS
