So what they have done is transport information describing the photon through quantum entanglement. I seem to remember scientists in Hungary did that several years ago.

I think the article mentions it's been done before but now they're doing it over a much longer distance, or something like that

Oh yes, it says this team did it once before and people have done it since 1997. I missed that the first time I read through it :-/. I suppose I just skimmed it incorrectly.

I read about it in a book once, there's an issue with maintianing the quantum entanglement over long distances. I think it's something to do with preventing the wavefunction from collapsing. I don't know, I'm not a physicist and I read this some time ago. The team in Hungary managed to do it over the Danube, so this is a consderable improvement I'm guessing.
