AUSTRALIAN scientists have developed a new method for transmitting data with light that may lead to super-fast quantum computers and teleportation technology.
The research team from the Australian National University developed a new approach to generating quantum entanglement in beams of light using only two parts.
Quantum entanglement is a process in which two objects are linked together in such a way that any changes to the properties of one can be measured from the other regardless of the distance between them.
This process of linking particles has existed for a few years but team leader Dr Jiri Janousek says this new method allows it to be achieved in a much simpler way.
“Usually, when you want to generate entanglement you need a lot of sources of light and a lot of receivers but we found a way to use only one source and one receiver to generate and measure entanglement,” Dr Janousek said.

The Institute For Quantum Computing in Waterloo, Ontario has been working with this stuff for a while.

they shouldnt use the word entanglement , the lawyers will flock to them.
Well, the Aussies now have something more to protect. Should have an influence when they decide if they should follow the U.S.’s lead in the self-inflicted-wound department.
Refresh me, what are the units of measure for entanglement?
Feet? Two foot entanglement is 2x one foot entanglement.
Can you see a new movie in the offing; an Australian scientist builds a quantum-entanglement-teleporter and decides to experiment…but unbeknownst to him as he climbs into the transmitter chamber a [fill in the blank] also enters the chamber.
Now, what to call the movie…?
glasnost, it’s been done before
demi moore and michael douglas got entangled
…
…
…
and out popped ashton kutcher!
A computer can’t work faster than the brainiac that’s running it!! And remember–when we create a computer aka intelligence that’s superiour to ours, we will become #2 on the food chain!
puddin n pie, there was another case in which a crooked lawyer and a crooked politician got entangled. The result was Chelsea Clinton.
What would pop out if Hitler and Amin climbed into a teleporter?
Aaron, you a bad boy.
I got entangled in Sydney one time.
Fortunately, a small bribe took care of it.
Aaron, probably someone who couldn’t tie their shoelaces without a screed about the Jews being responsible for keeping Velcro shoes from becoming popular.
Which they in fact did. It’s one of their greater contributions to all of mankind.
Quantum is the unit of measurement I believe.
The trick will be to control the inputs and outouts.
Manage the interface.
Teleportation – now thats green technology. Goodbye planes, trains, and buses.
The only problem is I will have to come up with a new nick for my BMW.
I love quantum entanglement. Its just so -wrong-. ~:D
glasnost, the spin direction.
talk about the weirdest of the weird. Nothing out there hasn’t been thrown at it to explain it.
I’m going with the wide wave idea.
No way is teleportation possible.
I have a theory that the Human Race is organized into Piss-Ant Quantum Levels.
The movement between levels is dependant on a Piss-Ant’s spin & Ego
What do you get when you entangle 2 piss-ants… Peloski
Nothing is impossible. What was once considered science fiction, including many of the gadgets used in Star Trek, have become a reality. Intelligence (knowledge) and technology is doubling every 3 or so months. This is not as far fetched as many of you seem to think.

Barrack Insane Obama?
…oops, Hussein.
What was I thinking??? sheesh!
