tl;dr

“A team of researchers in China sent a photon from the ground to an orbiting satellite more than 300 miles above through a process known as quantum entanglement”

links from the article:

- https://www.technologyreview.com/s/608252/first-object-telep...

- https://arxiv.org/abs/1707.00934

imo, it’s far-fetched to call a photon an “object”.

Well, it'll work once we figure out how to convert an atom or molecule into a photon and back.
