Australian scientists teleport photons! quote: Towards the final frontier: thanks to particles in a laser beam It's teleportation, but not as Kirk and co would know it Tim Radford Science editor Tuesday June 18, 2002 The Guardian Two Australian scientists have brought the world of Star Trek just a step nearer. They have "teleported" information between two laser beams a metre apart. They used a ghostly phenomenon called quantum entanglement to dismantle a signal - transmitted in photons, or particles of light - in one shaft of laser light and instantaneously rebuild a replica of it in a second laser beam. "What we have demonstrated here is that we can take billions of photons, destroy them simultaneously, and then recreate them in another place," Ping Koy Lam of the Australian National University told the Australian newspaper. The team worked only with light, not atoms.
