LOL
Sorry, but the reason I gave the definition for teleport is that the word does not mean replicate, observe, etc. It means to transport (a body).
The “teleportation” they are talking about here is not the deconstruction of a body and reconstruction of another. It is an observation on the entanglement of data associated with two separate bodies. I see nothing in the article to disabuse the notion that this was a replication (or observation of entanglement, if you prefer), rather than the actual deconstruction/reconstruction of the original body.
Words mean things - and I do not think that word means what they think it means.
They’re not medieval.
I’m averse to a rewriting of measurements that came out of the French Revolution.
Of course there is, given they can reproduce the experiment at one kilometer.
I find that hard to believe.
Electricity is defined as being a pressurized flow of electrons. AC is back and forth and DC is a single direction flow.
Meanwhile, Edward Frenkel uses an analogy to explain "quantum field theory."
Frenkel writes in his book "Love and Math,: ... "... think of quantum field theory as a culinary recipe. Then the ingredients of the dish we are making are the analogues of particles, and the way we mix them together is like the interaction between the particles."

what could possibly go wrong?
You might want to read David Bohm and the Implicate Order.

A quantum particle is defined by nothing except for its wave function. If the wave function of a particle is transmitted, the particle is transmitted. It's not a copy. It's not a clone. It's the actual particle. In order to teleport the particle, all you need to send is the state information. That's all.
You are right about that. The experiment described was carried out over at least a 10 km "zero distance" by an Italian concern more than a year ago, already working on a 110 km non-separation.
The state of science journalism is nearly as moribund as political writing in New York.

I’m sorry if you can’t seem to understand that quantum teleportation doesn’t allow transmission of any usable information faster than the speed of light.
Maybe YOU need to read the article again.
It wouldn’t matter if the did the experiment from the earth to the moon, because they can’t measure anything without transmitting information slower than c between the two locations.
I think people are just stuck thinking of the “solid particle” model, they can’t conceive that we are really talking about waves here.
What is one standing wave versus ninety-two standing waves, if they are superimposed on top of each other, or in close proximity? You can’t lay your finger on any physical substance and say “there is the wave”, it’s just an oscillation in the medium. If you have more than one oscillation pattern, there is still nothing to point at, even if you have ninety-two of them.
Once they know the distance between the two point they don’t need to transmit information between the two points to measure.
And I am sorry that your mind is too old and has grown too inflexible to embrace a new perspective. There is much wonder, and the immense joy of finding things out. Apparently your mind is so shuttered now that you are incapable of seeing the wonderfulness unfolding.
No, but they do need to transmit classical information between the two points in order to complete the teleportation, and that classical information can only be transmitted slower than the speed of light.
“There is much wonder, and the immense joy of finding things out.”
Then why don’t you find out what the phenomenon being discussed in the article actually is before you try to opine about it?
So, you now try to assign to me a specious position, that of not having read the article and thus not understanding what is being done. That makes you more comfy does it? Enjoy
