I understood nada. the success rate being 86% means what, successful transmission of state in 86% of cases? over what sample size? was there a control instance with randomized states?

Yeah, my understanding is that 86% refers to successful transmission of the state where entanglement is preserved. No idea about the details though, would have to look through the paper itself.

I have a friend who has been tasked to explain all this and the benefits to lay-people. Somehow, “able to break all your passwords” doesn’t seem to be very compelling.

Maybe this will be the reason they trot out at the next budget review.
