Chinese Physicists Break Own Teleportation Record

The motivation for this is obvious - moving objects without moving them through space would come in very handy for a variety of things. In this case, however, it's not really the object being moved, just information that describes it. The information is then applied to another object elsewhere, thus achieving the illusion of the object changing location. This description alone should be enough to discourage any human from getting ideas until the time is right.
The equipment used includes a laser and some fancy optical equipment. Maintaining information about photons seems to be a challenge so far, but once this technology is perfected, it could be used a base for extremely fast and long range wireless communication. As for teleporting to the grocery store and back, that may be a dream for quite a while longer.
