ESA observatory breaks world quantum teleportation record
Paris (ESA) Sep 07, 2012
An international research team using ESA's Optical Ground Station in the Canary Islands has set a new distance world record in 'quantum teleportation' by reproducing the characteristics of a light particle across 143 km of open air. Funded by ESA, researchers from Austria, Canada, Germany and Norway transferred the physical properties of one particle of light - a photon - onto its 'entangled' partner via quantum teleportation, thereby bridging a distance of 143 km between the Jacobus Kapteyn Teles ... read more
