Canary Islands host long-distance quantum teleportation

"Spooky action between La Palma and Tenerife, with space the next stop

The Canary Islands of La Palma and Tenerife have
been briefly connected by a quantum teleportation
system that sets a new distance record for the
spooky communications technique.

In an angle that will get Trekkie bloggers reaching
for the “beam me up” metaphors, the researchers,
from Austria, Germany, Canada and Norway, hope
that quantum teleportation could one day be used
for ground-to-satellite communications."
