That confused me as well. They seem to be talking about the relocation of one of the entangled pairs to its intended position. But it doesn't seem like what I would call teleportation, since it seems to be moving one of the entangled pairs along a path. They do describe one thought of teleportation in the beginning that fits my thought; copy object data, destroy object, send object data to second position, create object. But what the Chinese did doesn't seem like that unless I too am missing something.



Edit: I came up with a better way to say it.

You aren't teleporting the photons, you're teleporting via the photons. What's in the way matters only for getting the photons to the destination.
