Scientists Achieved Breakthrough in Teleportation

We are now officially one step closer to Star Trek-like teleportation. Two years ago, teleportation between two atoms at a distance of a fraction of a millimeter was achieved. But today, Danish scientist Eugene Polzik and his team of scientists have managed to perform teleportation between two different objects, light and matter, at a distance of 1.6 feet (0.5 meters).

“Our method allows teleportation to be taken over longer distances because it involves light as the carrier of entanglement,” Polzik said.

The mind-boggling stuffs:

A strong laser beam was shined onto a cloud of room-temperature cesium atoms whose spins were all pointing in the same direction and fluctuating according to their given quantum state. The laser became entangled with the collective spin of the cloud, meaning that the quantum states of laser and gas shared the same amplitude but had opposite phases. The goal was to transfer, or teleport, the quantum state of a second light beam onto the cloud.

The group mixed a second, weaker laser pulse with the strong laser and split the superimposed beams into two arms. A detector in one arm measured the sum of the beams’ amplitudes and a detector in the second arm measured the difference between their phases. Neither measurement disturbed the delicate entangled state between the light and cesium. But the researchers could use the results to apply a precise magnetic field to the cesium vapor that effectively canceled out the ensemble’s original spin state and replaced it with one that corresponded to the polarization of the weak pulse, as they report in the 5 October Nature.

But this technology is really more like transferring of information at incredible speed than “real” teleportation. So to get beamed up by Scotty is still a long way ahead. Rather than for teleportation purposes, the technology can best be applied to the creation of ultra-powerful computers and super-secure encryption systems. Sounds just as fun as teleportation around the world! Ok, maybe not.

Hmm, hard to believe but interesting.

i c i c

Interesting...

Theres lotsa bad points,

1 ; teleprotation will make people teleport to places and people will be hurt because of teleprotation co-ordinates Being exact

Also ALl transportation methords will die apart from Teleporting.

people will die from Landing in da sea..

lol

Its impossible to get teleprotation to the public!

Intresting but to be honest I don't think they will get any further in teleportation any time soon.

OMG! I want to transport 1.6 feet!

It actually depresses me that there are smart people who do stuff like this. There are a million things better to make than teleportation that will never work.

Teleportation can work it just needs to be investigated further, from a fraction of a milimeter its gone to 1.6 Feet which is alot further if investigated further which it probably is it will probably go alot further.

From what other people have said about people dying or feeling ill from improper use of co-ordinates do you really think their going to let the public use teleportation if they don't think its safe please use your brains

My Views on Teleportation: While it would get alot of people from place to place alot quicker it would make people alot lazier because they know it would cause less trouble, Teleportation would probably be very expencive or use up alot of natural resources or affect the environment while it would be making journey's quicker it would be affecting other things negatively.
