Teleportation of Quantum data

Researchers at the university of south wales successfully "teleported" packets of light waves in a complex quantum data string.

"It opens the way for high-speed, high-fidelity transmission of large volumes of information, such as quantum encryption keys, via quantum communications networks."

it is a fairly brief article with a lot of technical data, I couldn't hope to explain it all here without making all involved in the process numb and reeling. Basically they transferred a complex string of linear equations with no actuall transfer. The subject was destroyed on the original end and created on the other. Since there is no real middle the data is duplicated with high fidelity at the other end. I really don;t know what else to do without spewing alot of jargon, so her eis the link and some wiki sites I used to try to figure out why this was a deal =p
