Quantum teleportation has made a leap up in complexity. Physicists have teleported more information at once than has ever been possible before, paving the way for a global quantum internet that would be extraordinarily secure from hacking.

This is not teleportation as you might imagine it from science fiction. Rather than transporting matter through space, it involves moving information about the quantum state of a particle.

So far, scientists have only been able to teleport quantum bits, …
