New technology developed during the last decade has changed the nature of information production and distribution in two very important ways which are both fundamental to the Center's objectives.įirstly, new technology has decentralized the processes of information production and distribution, allowing the public to exert greater influence over the content and direction of the published historical record. Utter magic.Ĭenter for Cooperative Research The Center for Cooperative Research seeks to encourage grassroots participation and collaboration in the documentation of the public historical record using an open-content model. I feel about quantum teleportation and entanglement the way my great aunt felt about electric lights. Over the course of a 28-hour experimental run, the system was correct 97 percent of the time. Using fiber-optic cable laid under the water in sewer pipes, together with microwaves sent across the air above the water, three distinct states were teleported across the Danube. By separating the entangled pair, the scientists successfully transported information about the state of one photon to the other. One pair is entangled, which means that if something disturbs the state of one, the other feels the effects as well-even when they are not physically connected. Rupert Ursin and his colleagues at the Institute for Experimental Physics in Vienna fired a laser through a barium borate crystal to generate two pairs of photons. Science & Technology at Scientific : Quantum Teleportation across the Danube Demonstrated Scientists report today in the journal Nature that they have successfully teleported photons more than 600 meters across the famous waterway.
