    This is sometimes referred to as spooky attraction, and it may far exceed the speed of light, which might have Einstein did himself up if true.

    A new distance record has been set in the strange world of quantum teleportation.
    In a recent experiment, the quantum state (the direction it was spinning) of a light particle instantly traveled 15.5 miles (25 kilometers) across an optical fiber, becoming the farthest successful quantum teleportation feat yet. Advances in quantum teleportation could lead to better Internet and communication security, and get scientists closer to developing quantum computers.
    About five years ago, researchers could only teleport quantum information, such as which direction a particle is spinning, across a few meters. Now, they can beam that information across several miles.
