Physicists Use Quantum Mechanics to Pull Energy out of Nothing

Researchers have shown that energy can be pulled out of empty space by taking advantage of random fluctuations in the quantum fields that fill the vacuum. Physicists exploited quantum entanglement to swap information about the fluctuations, gathered in one place, with energy hoovered up somewhere else. In one experiment, they used radio pulses to link two carbon atoms in a way that effectively teleported energy across microscopic distances for a few milliseconds. A separate experiment tested quantum energy teleportation using several of IBM's superconducting quantum computers.
