Scientists Achieve Direct Counterfactual Quantum Communication For The First Time

[etienne_marais]

For the first time in the history of quantum mechanics, scientists have been able to transmit a black and white image without having to send any physical particles. The phenomenon can be explained using the Zeno effect, the same effect that explains that movement itself is impossible.

Theoretical physicists have long proposed that such a form of communication would be possible, but now, for the first time, researchers have been able to experimentally achieve it – transferring a black and white bitmap image from one location to another without sending any physical particles.

Regular quantum teleportation is based on the principle of entanglement – two particles that become inextricably linked so that whatever happens to one will automatically affect the other, no matter how far apart they are.

Direct counterfactual quantum communication, on the other hand, relies on something other than quantum entanglement. Instead, it uses a phenomenon called the quantum Zeno effect.

Hmm... Apparently the Zeno Effect has been used to take a picture of an object without a single photon hitting and being received from the object too.

Weird sh*t...

so...

are they able to send information from x to y faster than the speed of light?

Edit, no, look like they use light to transfer the information.
