The comments are based in some things said in 2015, and they also are incorrectly explaining how quantum tech is used to secure network connections. Its true that some people were hoping to use it for instantaneous communication, and ... maybe that hope has increased; however the main hope for securing the internet lies in using quantum computing to run faster and stronger encryption algorithms.Using quantum mechanics, would this mean instantaneous data transmission?
Instant, secure ‘teleportation’ of data in the works
Apparently so.
'Beaming' information while remotely possible is an idea full of problems. The main problem is that the result is a probability. You don't know for sure what has happened at end B unless you call end A on the telephone. The article admits that 91% fidelity is considered high for entangling 1 atom. That probably drops as you increase the number of bits if information.
