I think this is the next step after what they did a couple yrs ago. There they just moved a single photon several meters...

This time they were able to move several photons from one point to another and use them to illuminate matter.... what that means is the the photons were sent through in a certain organization and a couple meters away they were still in that organization. This is an important step because it shows that you can maintain organization thru the teleportation.... basically meaning that you can created information transfer that is intact at the other end.. unlike other methods were there is inevitable some data loss.... ever fibre optic cable are unable to maintain complete information transference.
