Quantum Teleportation

Quick fact

Quantum teleportation was first demonstrated experimentally in 1997 by Anton Zeilinger's group, teleporting the quantum state of a photon over a distance of about a meter.

Why this is interesting

Imagine being able to transfer the exact blueprint of an atom from Earth to Mars without ever sending the atom itself—this is what quantum teleportation achieves, not with matter, but with information.
