Scientists have claimed that the teleportation experiment was successful. This is a revolutionary step towards the future of computing.
A major milestone in quantum computing has been achieved after researchers at the University of Oxford built a scalable quantum supercomputer capable of quantum teleportation.
This sounds like science fiction, but it’s real!
Before we get carried away with the idea of people vanishing in a flash and materialising elsewhere, it should be made clear that quantum teleportation has nothing to do with the science fiction of Star Trek.
In this case, neither objects nor people are moved; rather, the information contained in one particle is transferred instantaneously to another, even if the other particle is kilometres away.
It’s a bit like sending a secret code that never actually travels from one place to another, but rather instantly recreates itself wherever it’s needed. It sounds like magic, but it’s actually pure quantum mechanics.
News of the successful experiment conducted by a group of researchers from Oxford University, which was disseminated by BRICS News via X (formerly Twitter), has spread around the world, sparking enthusiasm and amazement within the scientific community.
This remarkable experiment represents a significant milestone in the pursuit of quantum computing and ultra-secure information.
What is quantum teleportation?
In quantum physics, teleportation does not refer to the physical movement of objects from one place to another, as depicted in films. Rather, it describes the instantaneous transfer of a quantum state from one particle to another, even over great distances, without any information passing through space.
This is made possible by quantum entanglement, an extraordinary phenomenon whereby two particles become so closely connected that acting on one particle immediately affects the other, regardless of how far apart they are.
Although today’s quantum computers are extraordinary machines, they are still fragile. They can only handle a limited number of qubits (the basic unit of quantum information) before they become unusable due to quantum effects degrading them.
However, researchers at Oxford University came up with a brilliant solution. Instead of pushing a single computer to its limits, they linked several quantum machines together as though they were carriages on a train.
The result? A distributed, modular and highly powerful system.

A step has been taken towards the quantum network of the future.
The success of this experiment paves the way for a future global quantum network in which quantum computers will be able to communicate with each other instantaneously and extremely securely. The implications are enormous.
- Enhanced data security: information transmitted via quantum teleportation cannot be intercepted without the content being altered.
- Unprecedented processing and communication speeds.
- Exploring new frontiers in cryptography and the transmission of sensitive information.
Quantum computing: a revolution is coming.
Quantum teleportation is a breakthrough that will transform the future of computing. While today’s world is based on traditional bits, we may soon find ourselves operating with qubits, which can hold multiple states simultaneously and perform calculations at speeds that are currently unimaginable.
One of the team’s researchers, Professor David Lucas, says:
‘Our experience shows that networked quantum computing is no longer just an abstract concept. It is a reality in the making.”
The Oxford University experiment is a clear indication that the future of computing has already begun.
