Nature Physics publication describes new record in sending information via quantum teleportation

A team of physicists has teleported data over a distance of 89 miles from the Canary Island of La Palma to the neighbouring island of Tenerife, which is 10 times further than the previous attempt at teleportation through free space.

As described in Nature Physics, the scientists exploit quantum entanglement - when the state of matter rather than matter itself is sent from one place to another.
