Towards the teletransport of atoms

Imagine a couple of particles with a special connection: even if they are a kilometer away, the change of one in the sense that is mandatory and known will change the other. That is, in two words, quantum teletransport.

Physicists use these “joined” particles to transport information without physical support. This information is formed by the quantum properties of atoms.

Until the team of Eugene Polike, from Aarhus University of Denmark, has managed to involve millions of cesium atoms in a gaseous state, these links only involved some atoms. But there is still something to do, E. Polzi got only half a second link. Therefore, the next step will be to extend the connection time.
