The first Earth-Orbit teleportation was completed today using tangled Photon observations, can someone explain how this works and how it could potentially be transitioned to matter?

From the article I read:

One of the most difficult to grasp aspects of quantum physics is how observing a quantum particle forces the particle's state to change.

This is known as the observer effect, and it is the result of the instruments necessary to measure the state of very small objects.

When quantum objects, such as photons, are "entangled" it means that they were formed at the same instant in space and so share the same existence.

The state of entangled particles are linked, so that if you measure the state of one particle it instantaneously affects the state of the other.

Questions arise about how long it takes, if observation of one of the entangled objects can change the state of the other object, for the other object's state to change.

Current research describes entangled particles as being part of the same wave function, which means that regardless of the distance between the entangled objects, the quantum state change will take place immediately.

This form of immediate change is what is being described when the scientists talk about teleportation.

By tangling two photons together and observing one, the scientists are instantaneously transmitting information in a potentially unlimited way.

While this has been performed many times in a laboratory setting, the Chinese researcher's experiments show it to be possible to teleport an object from Earth to orbit, and breaks the record for the longest distance for entanglement.

The article you quote is really complete rubbish. There is basically not a single correct statement in it.

Teleportation works the following way:

You have Alice who has some qubit in an unknown quantum state and you have Bob who wants to know that state. Alice cannot just measure the state and tell Bob what it was, as single measurement does not reveal the complete state of the qubit and alters it in the process so that any subsequent measurement does not contain any useful information about the original state.

Alice can still send the quantum state to Bob if they have a classical communication channel between them and share an entangled pair.

What Alice does is performing a measurement that reveals the relation between the state she wants to send and her half of the entangled pair. Here quantum weirdness strikes for the first time: Even though there are infinitely many states, there are only four possible outcomes for this measurement. If Alice knows the relation between one half of her entangled state and unknown qubit had, then she knows the relationship between Bob's half of the entangled pair and the unknown state is. So she calls Bob and tells him what the result of her measurement was. Then Bob knows that the state of his qubit differs only by one out of four transformations from the unknown one. He performs this transformation and holds this qubit.

Note that only information was transferred. This kind of "teleportation" cannot be used for transmitting matter/energy and further note that no information was transmitted instantaneous or faster than the speed of light. The information transfer needs to include classical communication between Alice and Bob. If Bob doesn't get the message and doesn't transform his qubit accordingly, then the qubit will just behave completely random when measured.
