Here's an interview from Scientific American that focuses on the marvelously cool quantum teleportation; which is very cool even if it doesn't actually have much to do with teleportation as sci-fi has taught us.

Update:
However, if you are really looking to torture your brain a little concerning physics, you should take a look at Cosmic Variance, which has a post up about the utter impossibility of telekinesis and most of what we think of as psychic experiences. I highly recommend the very long and occasionally mind-bending comment thread, which could give you some preparation for "Talk like a physicist day." It's supposed to be held on March 14 (Pi Day and Einstein's birthday) and you should totally get your sweetie a plush subatomic particle to celebrate.
