So, the summary doesn't make this clear, and if you were to use the colloquial definition of teleportation the title of the article would simply be wrong.<p>Quantum teleportation is nothing like teleportation in shows and movies. The big difference is that you have to <i>already have something on the other side</i>. In other words, you can't teleport a rat to mars because there is no rat on mars. Yet. :-p<p>Further, that rat would have to be <i>entangled</i> with another rat on mars, not something trivially accomplished. At least that's my understanding of it.<p>Here's an article on QM teleportation that's easier to grok (although not about teleporting energy specifically):<p><a href="http://www.research.ibm.com/quantuminfo/teleportation/teleportation.ps" rel="nofollow">http://www.research.ibm.com/quantuminfo/teleportation/telepo...</a>
