So, it seems a clever Australian research team managed to teleport a laser beam. One of the more interesting aspects of this story is that they actually embedded information in the beam that was teleported, effectively teleporting that information. They don't mention whether the teleportation happened instantaneously or not. If it did, it's quite cool, since that would allow for information being transmitted over long distances in -zero- time, potentially allowing things like real-time control of Mars Rover or Pioneer, and completely obsoleting optical networks.
