Russia Aims To Develop '"Teleportation" in 20 years
It’s a question that physi- cists, philosophers, and science fiction writers have pondered for decades: how to travel from one place to anoth- er without travelling through the space in between.
Now a Kremlin-backed research program is seeking to make the teleportation technology behind Captain Kirk’s transporter a reality.
A proposed multi-trillion pound strategic develop- ment program drawn up for Vladimir Putin would seek to develop telepor- tation by 2035.
"It sounds fantastical today, but there have been successful experi- ments at Stanford at the molecular level," Alexander Galitsky, a prominent investor in the country's technology
sector, told Russia's Kommersant daily on Wednesday. "Much of the tech we have today was drawn from science fiction films 20 years ago."
The Star-Trek style tar- get is listed in the National Technological
Initiative, a state-spon- sored strategic develop- ment plan designed pour investment into research and develop- ment sector in a num- ber of key sectors.
The $2.1 trillion (£1.4 trillion) “road map” for development of the cybernetics market to 2035 also includes developing a Russian computer programming language, secure cyber- netic communications, quantum computing, and neural interfaces (direct connections between
computers and human brains), Kommersant reported.
The goal is not as out- landish as it might seem.
In 2014, scientists at Delft University of
Technology in the Netherlands showed for the first time that it was possible to teleport infor- mation encoded into sub-atomic particles between two points three metres apart with 100% reliability.
While teleportation remains a remote prospect, experts believe significant progress in quantum computing and neural interfaces is likely in the next few decades.
The program appears to be part of a new Kremlin
drive to boost Russia’s IT sector and high-tech economy.
Mr Putin heaped praise on Russia’s IT sector earlier this week when he met a team of pro- grammers from St Petersburg state uni- versity who won the 2016 international “pro- gramming olympiad.” Russia has a talented programming communi- ty and a small but vibrant software sector that has produced sev- eral successful IT com- panies, including Yandex and Kaspersky Labs.
Western governments also believe Russia has leveraged its computing talent to put together one of the most fear- some state-sponsored hacking and cyber-war- fare programs on the planet.
