I read on this - They actually did it.
It was about the same time some other scientists stopped and restarted a photon.

Teleportation is the name given by science fiction writers to the feat
of making an object or person disintegrate in one place while a perfect
replica appears somewhere else.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://researchweb.watson.ibm.com/quantuminfo/teleportation/">In 1993 an international group of six
scientists, including IBM Fellow
Charles H. Bennett, confirmed the intuitions of the majority of science
fiction writers by showing that perfect teleportation is indeed
possible
in principle, but only if the original is destroyed.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://researchweb.watson.ibm.com/quantuminfo/teleportation/">In the past, the idea of teleportation was not taken very seriously
by scientists,
because it was thought to violate the uncertainty principle of quantum
mechanics,</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://researchweb.watson.ibm.com/quantuminfo/teleportation/">But the six scientists found a way to make an end run around
this
logic, using a celebrated and paradoxical feature of quantum mechanics
known as the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen effect.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E3FD1B4A-1E68-4FB9-BB2E-E4EE23D293B8/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
