Scientists Managed to Teleport Data over Three Meters with 100% Accuracy

Dutch scientists achieved accurate teleportation of quantum information over a distance of three meters. This is a great achievement, but is still far from the famous phrase “Beam me up, Scotty!” from Star Trek where people were teleported into space. However, it is another step in this direction.
Many scientists now believe that once teleportation of people from one place to another will be possible. However, at present and for quite long time, we will be limited to teleportation of quantum information.
The evolution of this research will contribute to the creation of quantum Internet, which will interconnect lightning-fast quantum computers. Before the idea of quantum internet is realized, quantum teleportation will make data transfer more secure than in today’s communications, as the transmission of quantum data is considered 100% secure (at least theoretically).
