Ok, this is interesting, if a bit "cold war" scary.  China is using quantum mechanics to develop a super-secure encryption technology for military communications.  Pretty nifty stuff.

We've been working on this for quite a long time.

This is not what is normally understood as teleportation, which is a device like the Star Trek Transporter, which unfortunately has yet to be invented, and might be impossible.
