Scientist worked out how to transfer data between two machines using quantum teleportation

Researchers teleport data between quantum computers over 2m using entanglement.

: Researchers at Oxford University achieved data transfer between two quantum computers using quantum teleportation. They used ion traps and an optical cable to entangle qubits, successfully extending a quantum network. Despite some failures, the method significantly reduced information loss. This advancement signals promising strides for practical quantum computing applications.

Oxford University researchers have pioneered a way to teleport data between two quantum computers, marking a significant progress in quantum network development. By entangling qubits using ion traps connected via a two-meter optical cable, they demonstrated successful data exchange which is not limited by physical distance.

The experiment showed high fidelity, with calculations conducted accurately around 70% of the time, despite local operation errors. Key to this process was the use of strontium and calcium ions, where strontium served as the network interface and calcium as local memory.

This system allows for relatively lossless data transfer, overcoming many common hurdles in quantum computing. Although challenges remain, such as adapting existing optical infrastructure, this breakthrough provides a foundation for future advancements in quantum networking.
