NOT accurate. Some idiot at IBM started this rumor years ago with an ad in
Scientific American. I suppose that now that we know how to do
sort-of-teleportation in the sense of transmitting all information about a
particle without transmitting the particle itself - formerly thought to be
impossible - the rumor has resurfaced. I am NOT aware of ANY reports that
this effect operates instantaneously, although I suppose that's
theoretically
possible (uses quantum-measurement stuff, and nobody knows when or how fast
that operates).

So it IS accurate.
