Teleportation!
Teleportation seems to be a science fiction but phycisists from University of Vienna and the Austrian Academy of Science have successfully carried out teleportation with particles of light over a distance of 600m across the River Danube in Austria.
They used an 800m-long optical fibre fed through a public sewer system tunnel to connect labs on opposite sides of the River Danube, which establishes a channel between the labs, dubbed Alice and Bob. This enables the properties, or "quantum states", of light particles to be transferred between the sender (Alice) and the receiver (Bob).
One crucial potential of teleportation of quantum properties is the application in superfast quantum computers. In the computers of tomorrow, this information would form the qubits (the quantum form of the digital bits 1 and 0) of data processing through the machines.
