Teleportation
Well, kinda. I guess:
No one is galaxy-hopping, or even beaming people around, but for the first time, information has been teleported between two separate atoms across a distance of a meter — about a yard.

Distances of more than one yard are merely an engineering problem.
I am amused by the comments of that article that are desperately trying to avoid causality breakage by dismissing information transmittal at lightspeed by complaining that the entanglement apparatus runs at lightspeed.
I wonder what they are going to do when the military gets this without fibre-optic connections?
Just start gibbering when anyone whispers “causality” to them?

WOW two in one day. You’re doing good Uncle. Now IIRC quantum entanglement occurs instantaneously over anything up to lightyear distances. However this does not mean that “we” can send information by this so we’re still safely inside Einstein’s Special Theory. This new teleportation though is going to require some more thought before I’ll give it my stamp of approval.

well, it’s closer to the ansible than the transporter room, but I guess that’s as best as you can do when the original article writer has to stick to a 8th grade reading level.
