Quantum Teleportation Has Been Achieved In Real Life ✖ Quantum teleportation over long distances has been achieved in real life. An announcement by a group of scientists from a "consortium of well-regarded institutions" confirms that a demonstration of sustained high-fidelity quantum teleportation has been achieved. The breakthrough was led by Caltech, a collaboration of Fermilab, AT&T, University of Calgary and Harvard University, and the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The group was successfully able to transport basic units of quantum information known as "qubits" over 22 kilometers of fiber between the Caltech and Fermilab Quantum Networks. While not the same as transporting physical matter across distances, this achievement could create Quantum Networks that revolutionize the future of computing speed, power, and security.
