Well OK, but note that the only novel thing is the xfer of *quantum*
state; classical or nigh-classical states could be moved in that way
(ie, an atom emits a photon, another one somewhere else absorbs it and
gets the "same" excited state the original had), but nobody says they
"teleported" the atom. I don't quite see why quantum-ness deserves the
upgrade in terminology.
