    It's a simple process really. You just need to uncouple the Heisenburg Compensators.

    I'd rather have them work on the whole holodeck thing ... i'd take one of those over a transporter any day :)

    @NoelZavala: If I could have a holodeck to recreate Claudia Schiffer and Cindy Crawford in their prime for a three-way, I'd never need to go anywhere else.

    For personal transport......no thanks. You can throw as much science at me as you want, but the more complex means of transport become, the easier it is to suddenly die.


    Initiating transport sequence...


    Processing destination...


    Transport in progress...


    Uploading....

    @Kaiser-Machead: 3rd party data recovery services will emerge to reassemble the quantum residue of loved ones who got glitched to death during transport.

    @frigg: And in the reconstitution they end up soulless ghouls that live only for pleasure.


    Wait...that sounds cool.

    The sad thing about such an article is that the "spin" put on it, in order to appeal to non-scientific audiences, detracts from the actual merit of the science being done. In order to get attention writers often distort or exaggerate the nature of the experiment.


    While this is a tremendous achievement, it's far from practical applicaiton, and as CircusSeal stated, won't be applicable to faster-than-light data transmission or the teleportation of solid objects.


    As usual, journalism delivers a damning blow to science in its hamfisted attempt at doing some good.

    Maybe I'll care when I can teleport the Coke from the fridge to the couch without getting off my ass. I'd also like a silent Roomba.

    I know it might not seem impressive, but changing the spin of a quantum state seems highly valuable. Most of the people in our smallest state, Rhode Island, have been spinning in a direction I could never comprehend, so this might actually put all four of them on the right track.


    Yes, I keep getting older, and the jokes only get more stale.
