“Teleporting quantum information is now a practical reality,” asserts Deutsche Telekom. The firm’s T‑Labs used commercially available Qunnect hardware to demo quantum teleportation over 30km of live, commercial Berlin fiber, running alongside classical internet traffic. In an email to Tom’s Hardware, Deutsche Telekom’s PR folks said that Cisco also ran the same hardware and demo process to connect data centers in NYC.

      this is teleporting photons, not atoms.

      though, this may actually be a step towards true holographic technology if they can teleport the photons in space and not just between consumer and emitter.

      This is about “teleporting” information not physical material (if my understanding is correct)
