First Object Teleported from Earth to Orbit...
Seeing the discussion on physics we had in the other thread, I thought this would interest in the forum. Thanks @AllenCrawley for texting the link, me thinks we ain't the only ones fascinated by this stuff.
A single photon is the first object to be teleported from the ground to an orbiting satellite

A single photon is the first object to be teleported from the ground to an orbiting satellite
Back in the 1990s, scientists realized they could use this link to transmit quantum information from one point in the universe to another. The idea is to “download” all the information associated with one photon in one place and transmit it over an entangled link to another photon in another place.
This second photon then takes on the identity of the first. To all intents and purposes, it becomes the first photon. That’s the nature of teleportation and it has been performed many times in labs on Earth.
Teleportation is a building block for a wide range of technologies. “Long-distance teleportation has been recognized as a fundamental element in protocols such as large-scale quantum networks and distributed quantum computation,” says the Chinese team.
