Machine assisted Teleportation encompasses : Sci-Fi Teleportation; Vacuum or spacetime Metric (VM) Teleportation & Quantum entanglement Teleportation.

All these methods are based around particle ( photons, atoms, ions and energy) manipulation via apparati. ie:  particle polarization and entanglement processes.

Notable achievements:

A single photon reveals quantum entanglement of 16 million atoms (Oct.13th 2017)

Every quantum particle travels backwards (July 18th 2017)

Ground-to-satellite quantum teleportation – (July 4th 2017)  the first quantum teleportation of independent single-photon qubits from a ground observatory to a low Earth orbit satellite – through an up-link channel – with a distance up to 1400 km. Explanatory article.

Cable – Quantum Teleportation record broken.  (Sept.19th 2016) Threading Q.T through fibre optic cables: record now stands at 7km.

Quantum Science satellite (Quess) launched. (16th Aug 2016). Experiments planned include; Quantum entanglement.

Physicists break distance record for quantum teleportation (Sept 22, 2015)   (NIST) have “teleported” or transferred quantum information carried in light particles over 100 kilometers (km) of optical fiber, four times farther than the previous record.

Physicists Make Big Leap In Quantum Teleportation (September 21, 2014)  information transited from light to matter, over a record distance of 25 kilometres (15.5 miles).

A world first! Success at complete quantum teleportation. (Furusawa group – September 11, 2013)

Quantum Teleportation Achieved over Record Distances ( August 9, 2012)

Austrian Scientists Experimentally Demonstrate “Quantum Teleportation” (December 15, 1997)
