NIST's quantum boffins have TELEPORTED stuff over a HUNDRED KILOMETRES

Instant information transfer

It's instant quantum information transfer, but not instant (classical) information transfer. The difference has to do with the probabilistic nature of quantum physics and the thing you call information, e.g., bits, is not transferred in teleportation.

Quantum physics is a mathematical description of matter and the math tells us that you can transfer classical information only with the speed of light or slower. No quantum trick can help you with that. Full Stop.

When, oh when, will they start teaching this at Kindergarden to save us this endless discussion among otherwise quite reasonable men.
