The demonstration of quantum teleportation using photons (21) is one example.
In 2006, China reported having fulfilled quantum teleportation of a two-particle system.
The approaches that engineers are now attempting include using trapped ions to perform computations; the Josephson function, which uses photons of light to store data; and quantum teleportation, by which two photons become "entangled," such that, when one goes into a quantum state, that state transfers to the other photon.
