Scientist worked out how to transfer data between two machines using quantum teleportation | Breakthrough is a first step in building a quantum network


Last week, researchers at Oxford University published a paper in Nature describing how they used quantum teleportation to transfer data between two quantum computers placed about two...

Transferring information from a quantum computer to a traditional machine that we can read and interpret presents a higher error rate – another hurdle scientists have struggled to mitigate. Although entanglement was not 100 percent successful with every photon fired, a failure did not disrupt the states of the ions, so the researchers could keep trying without having to reset the entire experiment. After many rounds of testing Grover's algorithm, the team found the simple network returned accurate calculations about 70 percent of the time.
