SCIENCE

The Claim

Scientists successfully teleported the polarization state of a single photon between two physically separated quantum dots over a 270-meter open-air link.

The Short Version

Evidence from the primary experiment shows polarization-state teleportation between two remote quantum-dot sources, using a 270 m free-space optical link as the inter-building channel, with fidelity surpassing accepted quantum benchmarks. Minor contextual details—short fiber segments within each building and ongoing debate over certification methods—do not change the fundamental result.

Caveats

  • The demonstration is reported in a pre-print that has not yet completed peer review.
  • The network included short fiber links inside the buildings; only the inter-site span was open-air.
  • Teleportation success is judged by fidelity criteria that some researchers argue could be refined further.
