Scientists achieve reliable quantum teleportation for first time. Albert Einstein once told a friend that quantum mechanics doesnt hold water in his scientific world view because physics should represent a reality in time and space, free from spooky actions at a distance. That spooky action at a distance is entanglement, a quantum phenomenon in which two particles, separated by any amount of distance, can instantaneously affect one another as if part of a unified system. Now, scientists have successfully hijacked that quantum weirdness -- doing so reliably for the first time -- to produce what many sci-fi fans have long dreamt up: teleportation. No, not beaming humans aboard the USS Enterprise, but the teleportation of data.
