Either this is a world changing discovery that breaks everything that I'm hearing about only in.. checks.. the BBC Science Magazine
Or.. it's complete wank clickbait nonsense
OH WHICH IS IT GOING TO BE?!
TLDR: They sent information through a fiber-optic cable using fewer photons per bit than before.
They only transmitted information, not any non-photon particles. They didn't exceed the speed of light, or exceed the speed of light through fiber-optic cable.
“Almost instantly.”
The second one, of course:
(enphasis mine)
So, yeah, we didn't break any laws of physics.
Well... I think the idea is once you can reliably send a photon, you can start sending entangled photos. Then you can use those to build networking hardware that transmits bits instantly.
Oh so this is teleportation?
It's not teleportation, it's clickbait nonsense
But it says it's teleportation. Are you calling them a liar?
