In this work, continuous-variable quantum states are being teleported. The reason they almost-incorrectly call it deterministic is that continuous-variable [1](think analog) quantum states even when degraded by signal transmission errors will always transmit some information to the destination. Qubit (or discrete state) teleportation on the other hand will usually have some probabilistic errors that completely destroy the signal.<p>Therefore, the correct metric to report for analog signals is the fidelity. They do report this as 69% - which is above a certain important threshold - but also fairly low for any practical application in the near future.<p>[1] as opposed to discrete-variable states eg. qubits
