Quantum teleportation between atomic ensembles demonstrated for first time

Quantum teleportation between atomic ensembles demonstrated for first time:

'via Blog this'

"Teleportation between two photons has been demonstrated earlier (first in 1997)," coauthor Chao-Yang Lu, of the Hefei National Laboratory for Physical Sciences at the Microscale and the Department of Modern Physics at the University of Science and Technology of China, told Phys.org. "The problem with the photon is that it always keeps traveling. You have to keep it to do useful quantum information processing tasks (in which case we call it a 'keeper'). Compared to the trapped ion experiment, an advantage of the atomic ensembles is that they have a much higher success rate."
