    After reading the article I noted that they connected 2 labs with a fiber (optic?) cable. (they ran it through a sewer pipe under a river). Ok, but haven't we been doing that for years? So, they caused light "particles" on one side of the cable to take on the same polarization as the "particles" originating on the other side.
     
    I'm not sure this qualifies as teleportation (maybe we need a good working definition). I think Paul is right. Sounds more like propagation.

    Wait a minute -- particles of light? As in photons? Last time I
    checked, that was called propagation, not teleportation!
