Sustained, Long-Distance Quantum Teleportation Achieved | IE (interestingengineering.com)
Here is what they did and why it's new.
In a major breakthrough, a joint team of researchers from Caltech, the Department of Energy’s Fermilab, AT&T, Harvard University, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab, and the University of Calgary announced that they managed to teleport qubits of photons across approximately 27 miles (43.4523 kilometers) of fiber-optic cable, per Fermilab.
Similar projects had been done in the past; however, this one distinguishes itself from the others due to it being the first to beam quantum information across such a great distance.
