Err Clone me up Scotty ???

Quote/ "Chinese physicists are reporting that they've successfully
teleported photonic qubits (quantum bits) over a distance of 97
kilometers (60mi). This means that quantum data has been transmitted
from one point to another, without passing through the intervening
space. It's important to note that the Chinese researchers haven't
actually made a photon disappear and reappear 97 kilometers away;
rather, they've used quantum entanglement to recreate the same qubit in
a new location, with the same subatomic properties as the original
qubit. The previous record for transmitting entangled qubits was 16
kilometers, performed by another Chinese team back in 2010 - and perhaps
most excitingly, the researchers seem confident that their system will
scale up from 97km to distances capable of reaching orbital satellites,
at which point we'll actually be able to build a global quantum network
for all of our cryptographic needs." /Quote
