THE dream of teleporting atoms and molecules鈥攁nd maybe even larger
objects鈥攈as become a real possibility for the first time. The advance is
thanks to physicists who have suggested a method that in theory could be used to
“entangle” absolutely any kind of particle.
Quantum entanglement is the bizarre property that allows two particles to
behave as one, no matter how far apart they are. If you measure the state of one
particle, you instantly determine the state of the other. This could one day
allow us to teleport objects by transferring their properties instantly from one
place to…
