Cool stuff. If this is anything like the IBM experiments, then matter isn't transported, but rather the information about the relationships between the atoms is transported to a different location. Local atoms are in turn organized into the structure defined by that information. An interesting way to instantly build a lunar base (or military base) from a distance.

3. Such schemes (as I describe at least) are limited to light-speed, so teleporting to AlphaCentauri will take 4.3 years According to prior explanations, quantum entanglement is not affected by distance. That is, a transmitter on one side and a receiver on the other side OF THE GALAXY will interact simultaneously. This phenomenon has nothing to do with the speed of light.
