We are so very close that even oceans apart we are still close.
Three scientists one each from the USA, France, and Austria share the 2022 Noble Prize in Physics for their pioneering experiments in Quantum Information Science.

Their work will revolutionize Computing, cryptography, and teleporting information.
Recipients sharing the prize:
Alain Aspect
Université Paris-Saclay and École Polytechnique, Palaiseau, France
John F. Clauser of J.F. Clauser & Association,
Walnut Creek, CA, USA,
Anton Zeilinger
University of Vienna, Austria
Summary of work from the Noble Prize site:
"John Clauser developed John Bell’s ideas, leading to a practical experiment. When he took the measurements, they supported quantum mechanics by clearly violating a Bell inequality. This means that quantum mechanics cannot be replaced by a theory that uses hidden variables.
Some loopholes remained after John Clauser’s experiment. Alain Aspect developed the setup, using it in a way that closed an important loophole. He was able to switch the measurement settings after an entangled pair had left its source, so the setting that existed when they were emitted could not affect the result.
Using refined tools and long series of experiments, Anton Zeilinger started to use entangled quantum states. Among other things, his research group has demonstrated a phenomenon called quantum teleportation, which makes it possible to move a quantum state from one particle to one at a distance."
