Title: Quantum Teleportation Among those tipped for Nobel Prize
Post by: bobito on Sep 26, 2012, 12:10 AM
According to Thomson Reuters, Researchers who wrote the notebook for quantum teleportation described as "Spooky", are among the tips likely to win Nobel prizes for science.

The announcement of the winners will come in early october this year. This topic is among the fascinating topics we've had in the field of science and technology.
Quantum teleportation transfers information between two points without anything physical, like a radio wave, passing through space.

This means it can't be intercepted and could provide a basis for totally secure mass communications, super-fast quantum computers and, eventually, a quantum internet much more powerful than the one we have today.

It relies on the process of 'entanglement' between two particles, which physicists have used to create a perfect replica of a single particle of light at some distance from the original.

Work done by Bennett and his colleagues in 1993 has been cited over 5,300 times - that's 300 times more than the average physics paper published in the same year - and it has since been verified in experiments over increasing distances.

Earlier this month, an international team of scientists set a new record by reproducing the characteristics of a photon over 143 kilometres, between two observatories in the Canary Islands.

Quantum computers are expected to be in the market after some few years and there are a number of fascinating gargets and pretty fast processes that will change the way we interact and use our electronic devices.
