Quantum Telecloning: Captain Kirk's Clone and The Eavesdropper

This has got to be the Bizarre Story of the Day...

Imagine Captain Kirk being beamed back to the Starship Enterprise and two versions of the Star Trek hero arriving in 
the spacecraft's transporter room. It happened 40 years ago in an episode of the TV science fiction classic, and now 
scientists at the University of York and colleagues in Japan have managed something strikingly similar in the 
laboratory - though no starship commander was involved.

The scientists have succeeded in making the first remote copies of beams of laser light, by combining quantum cloning 
with quantum teleportation into a single experimental step. Telecloning is more efficient than any combination of 
teleportation and local cloning because it relies on a new form of quantum entanglement - multipartite entanglement.
