Chinese researchers use quantum
physics to “teleport” photons across 10 miles of empty space
China has been taking a beating in the U.S. press lately. The Chinese company Foxxconn has experienced problems with employees committing suicide, the country has not warmed up to U.S. greenhouse gas cut initiatives and has placed a ban on internet maps and satellite imaging. However, the country can be commended for its latest effort - achieving quantum teleportation.
Scientists at the University of Science and Technology of China and Tsinghua University were able to stream quantum information over 16 km of free space, approximately 10 miles. It’s called teleportation, but the matter is not actually moved, instead the quantum state of an object is transferred to another (when something is done to the fi rst object, it immediately happens to the second one).
According to the Shanghaiist website, “It’s connecting two photons in a way that when one photon is changed, the other changes simultaneously, allowing for information to be transported between the two without using signals or networks. The protons in this case
interacted with ‘89% fi delity,’ meaning that there’s a few more tests necessarily before anything can seriously be ‘beamed’ anywhere.”

Autism-MMR doctor is not giving up
HE’S down, but Andrew Wakefi eld, the doctor who made the now discredited link between autism and the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine, is not giving up.
On 24 May, the UK’s General Medical Council (GMC) ruled that Wakefi eld be struck off the UK medical register for “serious professional misconduct” in the course of his research at the Royal Free Hospital in London. The reasons listed by the GMC include dishonesty in a paper published in The Lancet in 1998 that fi rst suggested the autism-MMR link, undeclared confl icts of interest, and ethical fl aws in the way children were recruited and managed during the course of the research.
Wakefi eld, however, appears unrepentant. He is due to address a rally in Chicago on 26 May organised by a group called the Centre for Personal Rights, which promotes “individual vaccination choice, parental consent to vaccination for children, and freedom to make healthcare decisions for ourselves and our families”.
He is also due to publish a book arguing his position on autism and vaccines, and has said he will appeal against the GMC ruling.
