It is worth noticing that, for the first time in a major leap in teleportation, the vital elements of a quantum processor have been successfully distributed among different computers.
It proves to have a very bright future for emitting quantum modules without any loss in the functioning of the modules. However, the transfer was only two meters (six feet) apart within the Oxford University laboratory.
It does go a long way towards highlighting the practicality of the spread of quantum technology by teleporting quantum states between interconnected systems.
Teleportation is a wonderful phenomenon stated in the laws of physics, which is understood only from a quantum perspective. The perspective states that objects are uncertain holding a set of potential characteristics until measurements force them to be in a concrete state.
By combining this uncertain state between different objects and taking proper measurements on one of the objects, one could manipulate the effect. It can be done in such a way that the entangled object placed at some distance will be taken by adopting the quantum identity of the original object.
While this type of transportation might not resemble the instantaneous travel of a passenger through the cosmos, it is perfect for transmitting the required information for executing logical operations within a quantum processor.
Dougal Main, a physicist at Oxford University and lead author of the paper, explains, “The previous instances of quantum teleportation have largely been interested in the teleportation of quantum states between two systems separated by some distance. In our study, we use quantum teleportation for coupling these distant systems.”
Classical computers rely on ‘on’ and ‘off’ switches to perform sequences of operations on bits of information. However, computation by quantum computers is through mathematically complicated distributions of possibilities known as qubits. It is often represented by a simple property of an uncharged particle such as a charged atom.
