Breaking: NASA scientists achieve long distance quantum teleportation that could pave way for quantum Internet for the first time
Quantum teleportation – sending qubits of photons through a fiber-optic cable – has been demonstrated by researchers for the first time. The achievement could be used to develop a quantum internet service, which would revolutionise data storage and computing; scientists also claim it will usher...defence.pk
Those measly 14 km is considered to be revolutionary milestone. WHADDAFUK? US is way behind
It's 43km not 14km...and it is a SUSTAINED connection over a commercial style fiber optic line (not lab ones) with a > 90% accuracy.

Dec. 31 (UPI) -- For the first time, scientists successfully demonstrated sustained, long-distance teleportation of quantum information.
"Quantum teleportation is essential for many quantum information technologies, including long-distance quantum networks," according to the study's authors.
Quantum teleportation is made possible by the quantum phenomenon known as entanglement, which describes two inextricably linked particles, whereby the measure or manipulation of one particle is observed in the other, regardless of time or location.
In the first-of-its-kind demonstration, researchers at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, a U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory affiliated with the University of Chicago, successfully teleported quantum information, or qubits, over a fiber-optic network stretching 27 miles.
Researchers actually tested their quantum teleportation technology on two different networks: the Caltech Quantum Network and the Fermilab Quantum Network.
During their trips across the two networks, built using a combination of commercial equipment and state-of-the-art single-photon detectors, the teleported photon particles maintained their fidelity at a rate of 90 percent.
The breakthrough, described this month in the journal PRX Quantum, suggests a viable quantum internet could soon be a reality.
"We're thrilled by these results," said study co-author Panagiotis Spentzouris.
"This is a key achievement on the way to building a technology that will redefine how we conduct global communication," said Spentzouris, head of the Fermilab quantum science program.
Both networks are compatible with current telecommunication infrastructure, as well as with emerging quantum data processing and storage technologies.
