First successfull teleportation done!

Is a gugol 10^100, not 10^120. Uhmm, I read it quite some time ago. As for the time of particles, I even fear to imagine that.

BTW, the ink needed to write such a number would be much more than the weight of Earth.

[KrazyHorse]

No it wouldn't. It's

10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0

You're thinking of a "googleplex"; 10^(10^100)

I mean particles. The number of atoms might not be that much smaller (maybe only factor of 10) since almost all matter is atomic hydrogen.

Might be 10^(10^100) then, coz I'm not thinking too much atm .

10^(10^100)? Sounds like my annual income. Not in any western currency though

[Solver]

. Sounds like my pre-cable Internet bill .

How exactly would one utilise quantum entanglement?
You need to transport the other pair to the destination by "normal" means, don't you?
Reading here, it would seem to me that each entangled pair is only good for a single teleportation, 'cuz when you entangle the teleportee with the 'sender' particle, you disentangle it from the 'receiver'.
And when teleporting anything bigger, wouldn't you need a HUGE amount of entangled pairs?

[KrazyHorse]

You use quantum entanglement as natural way to encode and decode data. You transport "info" via light beam. Using quantum entanglement makes it easy to get exact copy without having to individually process all the bits of required data manually.

KH, can that kitten be our first guinea pig for quantum teleportation?

[KrazyHorse]

Yes, given that it's not my kitten. I'd even volunteer to be the first human to go through (after sufficient animal tests).

[Jaakko]

Ok, but if you have only a single entangled pair of photons, can you teleport any more than a single photon's quantum state?

[KrazyHorse]

I don't know. I wouldn't think so.

[Solver]

I bet he'd agree to it.

[Jaakko]

So all this thing is doing is helping us cart around quantum states, one by one?
I'm thinking this would be an extremely inefficient way to transport anything massive.

[KrazyHorse]

You don't say.
