Beyond Physics: Scientists Successfully Teleport Information for First Time
SNIP
German scientists have developed a method to transmit information across a physical distance without a time delay, in what is known as “quantum teleportation,” however, in this case on a classical physics level and not at the quantum level, the press office of the Friedrich Schiller University of Jena reported.
"Elementary particles such as electrons and light particles exist per se in a spatially delocalized state," one of the scientists Alexander Szameit said.
In such a system, there is a probability that these particles can exist in multiple places at the same time.
"Within such a system spread across multiple locations, it is possible to transmit information from one location to another without any loss of time," according to the physicist.
This process is dubbed quantum teleportation and has been known for several years. In their experiment, Szameit and his colleagues demonstrated that teleportation exists not only on the quantum level but also in the classical world, with the use of specially entangled laser beams.
The team has proved that laser beams can be entangled on the classical level, using special polarizing plates spinning at a certain speed.
