Hi init 3,
>From your link,
http://www.newscientist.com/hottopics/quantum/quantum.jsp?id=ns99991888
I quote the concluding paragraph,
<< "It would be fascinating," he says.
"The possibility that you can teleport
not just quantum states of photons,
but also of more massive particles,
that in itself is an interesting goal." >>
He's hoping to " teleport " C60 molecules,
i.e. buckyballs, not humans...
There's a difference, you know.
And the word teleport is Ultra misleading here,
as discovering the spin of one particle,
be it a photon or C60, just means that you also
know the spin of the other particle.
How is it that one can discover that ?
Because they came from a common event...
as any real physicist would tell you.
The pair was entangled,
so knowing the spin of one Tiny particle means that
you automatically know the spin of it's partner.
Entanglement is an information scenario,
and it involves Only ultra tiny objects...
Not Scotty beaming Jim down to planet XYZ.
