Several science articles last week had a variation of the headline "Beam Me Up, Scotty." They were all playing off a successful physics experiment in which local researchers were able to 'theoretically' bring ideas like Star Trek's teleportation one step closer to reality. But strip away that hype and there's still a lot to be excited about. Tech Tuesday explores breakthroughs in quantum computing and how they might affect your life.
