Why?
> quantum teleportation
What is the practical near term (next 10 years) applications? I can't think of any.
> superdense coding
Somewhat better compression is hardly a killer app, especially given the costs imvolved.
> distributed quantum computing
Need actual quantum computers before you can have that (definitely more than 10 years away imo). I'm also a bit unclear as to how applicable quantum algorithms are to parallelization in distributed machines.
