DESCRIPTION:"D. Bouwmeester et al.\, Nature 390:575 (1997) ":http://www.na
 ture.com/nature/journal/v390/n6660/full/390575a0.html\n\nQuantum teleporta
 tion — the transmission and reconstruction over arbitrary distances of t
 he state of a quantum system — is demonstrated experimentally. During te
 leportation\, an initial photon which carries the polarization that is to 
 be transferred and one of a pair of entangled photons are subjected to a m
 easurement such that the second photon of the entangled pair acquires the 
 polarization of the initial photon. This latter photon can be arbitrarily 
 far away from the initial one. Quantum teleportation will be a critical in
 gredient for quantum computation networks.
