| Memory-built-in quantum teleportation between photonic and atomic qubits |
I could have easily discussed the anniversary of 9-11, my recollection of the celebrations that broke out spontaneously last year (my neighbors made it quite hard to sleep); my shear luck of being in New York as those infectious celebrations happened.
No...instead I'm in a Trekkie mood, looking forward to the future; hopeful. We started the 21st Century on a sour note to say the least.
From the 100 Year Starship Symposium in Houston I blogged on yesterday, I stumbled on this item. The paper is at the link below. It took me aback that the Air Force commissioned the research, but I guess you have to study these things...even if we ultimately can't, what will we learn from the effort?
Lest you think that our friends at DARPA are the only ones interested in science-fictional possibilities, the USAF recently took delivery of a new study regarding the military potential of teleportation.
The Teleportation Physics Study was done by Eric Davis of Warp Drive Metrics. Its purpose -
"This study was tasked with the purpose of collecting information describing the teleportation of material objects, providing a description of teleportation as it occurs in physics, its theoretical and experimental status, and a projection of potential applications. The study also consisted of a search for teleportation phenomena occurring naturally or under laboratory conditions that can be assembled into a model describing the conditions required to accomplish the transfer of objects."
