Making teleportation 'fuel-efficient'

Teleportation, so familiar to science fiction fans, may have come a small step closer thanks to research by a team of physicists in the United Kingdom.

Over the past decade, scientists have shown that the powerful connections generated between particles through the quantum law of 'entanglement' could allow information to be teleported.

Now, PhD student Sergii Strelchuk from the University of Cambridge, and others, have described a scheme that would make such teleportation more practical and efficient.
