Quantum teleportation has been achieved

 Quantum teleportation has been achieved, scientists say. Like magic, quantum computers that weren’t hooked up to one another in any conventional way just ran an algorithm together—a crucial breakthrough that could make it easier to build quantum supercomputers. A team of Oxford researchers engineered interactions between computers that were six-and-a-half feet apart by transmitting information via photons, aka light, instead of using electrical signals. Getting the computers to work together across their physical distance showed that “network-distributed quantum information processing is feasible with current technology,” the lead investigator, David Lucas, said. Though some experts think we’re still decades away from quantum computers going mainstream, Bill Gates recently said he thinks it could happen in the next five years.
