Teleportation

At the University Maryland Joint Quantum Physics Lab, an early success in teleportation has been accomplished.
By copying the information of atoms of the element Yterbium, (which is a rare lanthanide metal) In a lab, scientists were able to copy to spin of the photons, clustering of electrons and all properties that make an element distinct and then tell the atoms in another space to act the same way, thereby creating two of the same thing in one place at a time. This was teleportation in its earliest stages. The element of Yterbium was transported a distance of 3 feet in a lab setting.
