Here is a very interesting read over at Nature.com that explains the ongoing race to build a “Quantum Internet”.

Physicists Jian-Wei Pan and Anton Zeilinger were long time rivals (but still close researchers and good friends) have worked since the 1980’s in the field of quantum physics, making a lot of headway together and building toward the idea of teleporting data on a quantum level. This article is in-depth, and well worth the read if you’re interested in the exciting, emerging world of quantum physics and how technology can benefit from it.
