I associate teleportation with Jeff Goldblum. And a giant steam press.
Interesting story, Katie. thanks. And don't be scared of the Philadelphia Experiment story... it didn't happen.
But this story is more about the relationship of quantum states between particles... so if you can change the state of one atom by doing something to the other. Extremely exciting as an advance toward quantum computer technologies... and as neat as Trek-like transporters would be, I like the idea of ultra-fast computers even more. Our ability to process data has always been the rate-determining factor in scientific progress, so faster computers mean a better understanding of nature and cures for diseases.
