Teleporation
Teleportation refers to the transfer of an object or its information from one location to another. In everyday language it is often imagined as material disassembly and reassembly at a distance. In physics the term commonly describes the transfer of quantum information—the exact state of a quantum system—rather than the instantaneous transport of macroscopic matter.
Quantum teleportation uses a pair of entangled particles shared between sender and receiver. The sender performs
Experiments have demonstrated quantum teleportation with photons, and more recently with ions and solid-state qubits. Distances
Beyond quantum teleportation, physics has speculated about transporting macroscopic objects via mechanisms such as wormholes or
