Researchers in Tokyo and Mainz have managed to reliably teleport photonic qubits – by employing quantum-mechanical entanglement of spatially-separated light fields.
The teams from Johannes Gutenberg University (JGU), Mainz, and the University of Tokyo are hailing the achievement as “a decisive breakthrough” after 15 years of such research since the first experiments in the field of optical teleportation. A qubit is a unit of quantum information — the quantum equivalent of the electronic bit.
