Teleporting atoms and molecules, and maybe even larger objects, has become a real possibility for the first time, now that physicists have suggested a method that in theory could be used to ?entangle? any kind of particle.

Quantum entanglement is the property that allows two particles to behave as one, no matter how far apart they are. If you measure the state of one particle, you instantly determine the state of the other. This could eventually allow us to teleport objects by transferring their properties instantly from one place to another.

For the first time physicists have achieved quantum entanglement between two large clouds of gas. This achievement means we may live in a future that contains super-fast quantum computers, instant communication over unlimited distance, and even a sort of teleportation.

Among other things, quantum computers will be able to function far more efficiently than the human brain, and to be much, much larger. It’s possible that these experiments are the forerunners of the first genuinely intelligent machines.
