Advancement in 'Quantum Teleportation' , Could Be the Key to the , Network of the Future.br 'The New York Times' reports that br scientists have successfully sent quantum br information across distant computers.br The accomplishment represents br a huge step toward developing br the networks of the future.br A team of physicists at the Delft University of Technology br in the Netherlands used quantum teleportation br to send data across three physical locations.br Quantum teleportation, br what Einstein referred to as , “spooky action at a distance," , transfers information without moving br the physical matter that holds it.br 'The New York Times' reports br that the process takes advantage br of a quantum property called "entanglement.".br Entanglement allows for a change in the state br of one quantum system to instantly affect br the state of another "entangled" quantum system.br After entanglement, you can no longer br describe these states individually. br Fundamentally, it is now one system, Tracy Eleanor Northup, a researcher at the University br of Innsbruck’s Institute for Experimental Physics, br via 'The New York Times'.br According to the team, when data travels this way, it cannot be lost or intercepted, as the information does not move from place to place.br With entangled quantum systems, that information simply exists in both places simultaneously. .br Information can be fed into br one side of the connection br and then appear on the other, Ronald Hanson, Physicist at the Delft University of Technology, via 'The New York Times'.br The team's research br was published in the br science journal 'Nature.
