EDIT: After reading the article, the novelty there is that they entangled particles separated by 3 meters. They didn't achieve any unusaly long entanglement time. That won't (or, at least, it's not trivial how it would) lead to better quantum computers, but could lead to qbit transmission and cloud quantum computers, as the authors say.

The original: From the abstract, they found a way to "freeze" entangled qbits, so that you can transport them, and read later.

For the confusion here, just remember that you can not transmit information by reading quantum entangled pairs. You can use them to make a quantum cryptography key exchange, that's still as subject to man in the middle attacks as symetric crypto, and you can use them for error correction in quantum computers (for what this one may be HUGE).
