Successful Long-Distance Teleportation!

First object teleported from Earth to orbit!

They're talking about the possibility of ultra fast quantum internet. What I'm thinking about is obviously possibility of teleporting sound from concert venues to our listening rooms

Some other ideas, guys.?

[Apesbrain]

It's not "teleportation" in the Star Trek sense: one thing did not instantly hop from one place to another.  It regards two entangled photons which remained entangled at a distance of 500 km.  Interesting, previously demonstrated at shorter distances, and theoretically predicted.

 

I guess it could be used for the purpose you suggest if we didn't already have radio.  (I know, that's the joke.)

if you think of a photon as an object...

Meh. Machina Dynamica has been doing quantum teleportation for the better part of 10 years now.

Please do not comment on less you've tried it for yourself, or I will be enraged. I am very open minded and want to read only positive experience comments that confirm that it works. Any "theory" welcome thanks!

Real teleportation (in the Star Trek "Beam me up, Scotty" manner, anyway) is impossible. The amount of data required would be trillions of terabytes for a human being. And most importantly, teleportation is a misnomer. How it would have to actually work, is that the matter being "teleported" is actually being destroyed (vaporized as in killed) at the start point and re-created at the destination point. Even if such a thing were possible, it is very doubtful that the re-created person or other biological entity at the destination would be alive. Warp drive? Maybe. Energy weapons? Most likely. Transporters for matter and living organisms? No.

No, because you could simply use Temporal Deblurring and Deconvolution on a lot of the data

The audiocable companies are working on the.....ad copy as we speak!

Wouldn't this be about the same amount of data as a concert recorded and played back in DSD 4096 formats?

 

An off topic observation.  I thought it was interesting that a person's entire personal genome can be written upon a CD-R.  More interesting is lossless compression can reduce the size to 4 megabytes.

@Apesbrain is of course correct.  However: This experiment shows moving *information* is possible.  And if all the *information* concerning an object is moved to other particles that can be built into that object, then you have in effect teleported the object.  As @gmgraves mentions, for any macroscopic object that is a hella lot of information, so what the practical applications (if any) may be over the next decades, who knows?  Though as @esldude says, we could use nature's own "data compression" methods to put humans elsewhere (but who'd take care of raising them?).

 

An aside: Anyone notice a lot of cutting edge science and engineering is being done in China these days?  A friend who does neurological research on sensory systems recently took a position there, moving from what I thought was a pretty idyllic life in the Canary Islands.  Bears watching.

Worth reading: No-communication theorem.

Yes, no EPR violation can take place.  Correlated states, the terminology used in the article you linked, is a much better way to put it than my reference to moving "information."

Wouldn't this be interesting: Using a "transporter", convert a person to a data stream, and instead of actually transporting them to another physical location, you "write" them to some storage device like a thumb drive, and re-constitute them at another time/place; maybe far into the future. Think of how that would simplify interstellar travel? The spaceships could be very small, need to take no oxygen, no food except what the re-constituded crew might need while at their destination (hopefully an "M"-type planet), and when their mission is complete, be again quantified, stored back to the ship's memory bank for the long voyage home, and when re-constituded on earth, they will have aged only the few days, weeks, or months spent at their destination!

I've read sci-fi like that.  They had developed ways to quickly grow the new body from genetic files and then place memory back into the reconstituted body.  The memory was the big data dump.  So no one physically travelled across space anymore.  They were all beamed from place to place.  There were rules to end one body after another was 'grown' elsewhere to prevent duplicates. 

 

Of course in between were times when genetics developed people who were of high human intelligence, a couple feet tall, and their bodies were hardened against radiation which also gave them unusually long lives.  So regular humans usually couldn't afford to travel off earth, but nearby space was populated with the genetic alterations for space faring people that were of less mass, and not bothered by radiation or long space voyages.  All in imagination of course.

You are not referring to the child slave camps we have on Mars are you?

 

The scary part is I know people who say Mr. Jones sometimes gets a little overboard, but usually is a solid source of important information.  Lord help us.

"We"???

@Jud I agree with you on most points. Also on this one:

One more remark - the moment we have quantum internet there will be no need for lossy streaming format such as MQA. Vaporware
