Quantum Teleportation: Confirmed and...for real!

Quantum Teleportation Between Distant Matter Qubits: First Between Atoms 1 Meter Apart

In the immortal words of Keanu Reeves….
…"WHOA"

Star Trek is becoming closer and closer to reality as we speak.

Quoted from article linked below- check this out folks!:
["For the first time, scientists have successfully teleported information between two separate atoms in unconnected enclosures a meter apart – a significant milestone in the global quest for practical quantum information processing."]

This has great implications for future developments:
