Can someone explain the significance of quantum teleportation in qbit architectures?
From what little I understand, it relies on quantum entanglement instead of electrical current to 'pass' logic states between qbits in different physical space, but I'm wondering why (in this case) they still need to be connected by fiber optic cables?
I thought the point was that it didn't need to pass signals over physical media, and that was valuable because it was instantaneous and secure, but now it's sounding more like conventional computing...?
From what I understand, the significance is that you can transfer the states around while keeping them in a superposition. Thus you can continue to perform computations with them even after moving them to a physically separate quantum computer.
ah, ok that is interesting, thanks!
