Quantum teleportation

I came across this news today,  decided to pass it on. Researchers have now been able to teleport information through 100km inside an optical fibre. Previously, they were successful with teleporting quantum information through 25km inside the fibre. This teleportation isn't suggesting actual object or human teleportation though! It just carries information within the network, a lot faster than it's capabilities today. Our networks are dependent on multiplexers which convert a low strength signal to high strength signal, so it can travel a greater distance. What this research is capable of achieving is that the information will have it's strength increased by what's called as a quantum multiplexer, which is very fast and more reliable. So, now the data will be safer, faster and efficiency will be greater. It's definitely gonna take up a lot of time to set up an entire quantum network, but the wait is worth it!
Here's a link for further insight -
