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.'
