Quantum Teleportation Pulls Energy Out of Thin Air
Energy is teleported into an energy vacuum.
A team of researchers at the University of Waterloo and a different one at Stony Brook University were able to use the laws of physics to pull energy out of thin air. Based off a theory from 2008 by Masahiro Hotta, a theoretical physicist at Tohoku University, it suggested the use of a quirk in quantum mechanics to teleport energy into a quantum vacuum devoid of energy.
Hotta’s theory attracted little attention in 2008, as many physicists dismissed the idea as unrealistic. However, this experiment really did test the theory, according to Seth Lloyd, a quantum physicist at MIT. “You are actually teleporting. You are extracting energy.”
The theory was built on something called the teleportation concept, where physicists could pull energy into a vacuum via fluctuations in the quantum fields.
Both groups of researchers at the University of Waterloo and Stony Brook University were able to teleport energy over tiny distances, proving Hotta’s theory.
The group at the University of Waterloo found that when energy was consumed in one area, it could allow an energy vacuum in a different place to access that energy.
