Before people start jumping up and down hoping that we'll soon be able to tell someone to 'beam them up, and don't forget the clothes this time', there's two things you need to consider:
1. Most importantly, it was 'beaming' of the state of an atom, not of the atom itself. This isn't moving matter from place A to place B, but transferring a property of matter from place A to place B---which already has the same matter available. Two very different things.
2. It has succeeded with one atom, which is indeed an important step. But our bodies contain about 4 kmol atoms, that is, 24 * 10^27 of the buggers. Even storing the quantum state of one fingertip is completely beyond us.
In other words: great science, but don't expect to be able to beam yourself from place to place in before you die.
