| #2 Not really. This is a known technology, so the only breakthrough, if indeed there was one, was in distance. "In previous experiments, the photons were confined to fiber channels a few hundred meters long to ensure their state remained unchanged. However, in the new experiment, the pairs of photons were entangled and then the higher energy photon of the pair was sent through a free space channel over 10 miles long." Importantly, one of the big findings from this so far is that entangled pairs have not been seen to violate causality. That is, though there is spooky action at a distance, it cannot transmit information faster than light. Were it to be able to do so, it would be so classified that most deities would not be permitted to know about it. |

| #1 Bull. If true it would be immediately made super^10 secret. |
