California researchers said Thursday they had completed the first "full" teleportation experiment.
They said they had teleported a beam of light across a
laboratory bench.
They did not physically transport the beam itself, but
transmitted its properties to another beam, creating a replica of the first
beam.
"We claim this is the first bona fide teleportation,"
Jeff Kimble, a physics professor at the California Institute of Technology,
said in a telephone interview.
