These Drums Beat in Perfect Synchrony Because They’re Quantumly Entangled
Physicists have built two tiny drums, each as large as a human hair is wide, and synchronised their vibrations exactly. They achieved this perfect unison of drums using a quantum mechanics phenomenon known as entanglement — and the drums could be useful for developing quantum computers.

Watch People Get Pranked Into Thinking Star Trek Teleportation Is Real
Teleportation is perhaps the dreamiest sci-fi invention ever imagined so it’s no surprise that when a Star Trek-style Transporter pops up in a middle of a mall and promises real life teleportation, a crowd forms to ooh and ahh and secretly hope that it’s real (no matter how unreal it is). Illusionist Scott Penrose created…

Scientists Successfully Teleport Quantum Information; Or Schrödinger’s Cat Lives/Dies
Researchers in Japan and Australia have managed to get teleportation right. We’re now that much closer to a future where quantum computers will be on your desktop, which is to say not very close at all but still.
