Teleportation Is Real – But Don't Try It at Home

Depending on your favorite sci-fi yarns, teleportation is either a very, very bad idea (see: The Fly) or a very, very cool one (see: Star Trek). For scientists, it's just very, very complex, so much so that at this point, teleportation is not a matter of moving matter but one of transporting information. Already, physicists have been able to exchange information between light particles — or photons — or between atoms, so long as they were right next to each other.

The current experiment marks the first in which information has traveled a significant distance — 1 m, or a little more than 3 ft. — between two isolated atoms. It's also the first time the powers of a photon, which is good at traveling over long distances, and an atom, which is prized for its ability to retain information, have been jointly exploited. (See the top 10 scientific discoveries of 2008.)





I cant wait for Phasers and my very own shuttle craft I wonder if this is fact following fiction or fiction predicting fact

How The Teleporter Came To Life

Though the technology appears to straddle the line between science and science fiction, the era of quantum teleportation has arrived. It's not the Star Trek--style beaming up of entire landing parties; the process operates at the subatomic level. What does that mean? Quantum teleportation, in short, is the transmission of characteristics--that is, the quantum state of a particular photon, or particle of light--from one place to another. While it falls short of a capability to beam people or objects to remote locations, it's much more than just sending a fax.

The original is destroyed, but every one of its distinguishing features is re-created elsewhere. Researchers believe quantum teleportation will someday translate into many breakthrough applications ranging from uncrackable encryption methods to quantum computers that will run billions of times faster than today's fastest machines.

Similar experiments took place in 2004, maybe in 100 years they can teleport a frog, interesting stuff, technichally I'd consider it time-travel, as space and time are inseparable, wouldn't expect star trek transporters for thousands of years though...

I know but I thought it might stir some discussion around ATS I may be wrong

CNN had a few postings on this topic a couple of weeks ago.

Here's just one of them. I think the problem they're facing is they can theoretically teleport the information, but they would have to have a blob of human molecules to reassemble on the other side.
