Scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences achieve a groundbreaking feat by teleporting a photon from a ground station in Tibet to a satellite orbiting Earth, marking the first instance of teleportation between the planet and space. This achievement, using the phenomenon of entanglement, establishes a satellite-to-ground quantum network and sets a new record for the longest distance over which entanglement has been measured. Teleportation has become a standard operation in quantum optics labs worldwide.
