Quantum Entangled Particles 'Teleported' to Space
Nathaniel Scharping, DM
Chinese researchers have successfully transmitted quantum entangled particles from a station on earth to a satellite orbiting far overhead.The experiment is part of an ongoing effort by researchers using the Micius satellite to achieve long-distance quantum communication, a feat that would yield hacker-proof information networks. In this most recent work, researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China beamed photons to the satellite and transmitted the state of other photons on the ground using entanglement. Transferring these so-called qubits allows information to...
