Chinese and Austrian scientists have successfully achieved in teleporting three-dimensional quantum states. This will be a major step into the future of quantum computers.



Before only two level states were successfully transmitted called "Qubits" which is a type of information with value "0 or 1 or both at the same time". But this study focused on teleporting the quantum state of one photon to a distant one, which is the third level state named " Qutrit ", now it has shown that there's another value " 2 ".

The research team has also made a step forward in practical application " quantum internet", a high-dimensional quantum system can now transfer larger data not only limited to Qubits. Anton Zeilinger a quantum physicist at the Austrian Academy of Sciences and The University of Vienna says " This result could help to connect quantum computers with information capacities beyond Qubits " a great potential lies ahead from multidimensional quantum teleportation. Jian-Wei Pan from the University of Science and technology of China, held a lecture at the invitation of the University of Vienna.

"The basics for the next-generation quantum network systems is built on our foundational research today", says Jian-Wei Pan.

Quantum physicist hope to focus on how to develop and expand the potential of this research to hopefully set a new step to teleport an entire quantum state of a single atom or photon.
