Schrodinger's Cat is Dead.... or is it Alive?

Physicists at the Neils Bohr Institute have completed an experiment where for the first time they have successfully teleported a 'macroscopic' particle the distance of a half-meter. The implications for future developments are obvious; though what I don't understand is how exactly teleportation of this type would ever go from the quantum mechanics realm up to the 'things which I can look at with my own eyes' realm. It seems most of the jargon they use to explain the experiment was loaded with phrases like 'Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle,' and 'particle/wave duality.' It was my understanding that these principles of physics only applied on the quantum level; so how would it ever be possible to transmit anything but a group of atoms? Until I see a hamster being teleported from one cage to another, in one piece, still breathing, I hold little hope that this technology will ever have any market value.
