Teleport lifts quantum computing Researchers transported the states of charged atoms and showed that it is possible to do so on demand. The feat boosts the prospects for building quantum computers that employ trapped ions, quantum particles that live long enough to carry out multiple computations. |

Teleportation goes the distance Teleportation makes it possible to transmit the quantum states, or structural information, of photons from one place to another. And making photons from one location materialize at another without traveling the distance between opens the way for sending messages long distances. |

Optical Quantum Memory Designed Quantum computers that use photons rather than atoms or electrons are appealing because the equipment needed to handle them can be relatively simple. A scheme for trapping photons in fiber-optic loops and replacing the photons that the loops absorb could be the answer. |
