Teleportation

Teleportation

• By Karma Marwan Omar El-Rakhawi

Definition

• Teleportation is the movement of objects or
  elementary particles from one place to another,
  more or less instantaneously, without traveling
  through space.

3

• This idea of teleporting oneself or an object
  from one place to the other instantly has been
  applicable only in fiction but not yet
  scientifically possible due to limitations in
  time, energy, and equipment
• The idea of transporting oneself or a certain
  object from one place to another instantaneously
  is found most recently in movies such as star
  trek, and jumper

Quantum Teleportation

• Definition A technique exploiting the
  entanglement of separate quantum systems in which
  information about a quantum state is transferred
  to a distant location so that a particle can
  effectively be recreated there, the original
  state being destroyed in the process
• What is possible is a phenomenon in quantum
  mechanics called quantum teleportation.
• Experiments of quantum teleportation have been
  carried out on the atomic level, and proved
  possible

Teleportation is not possible because

• Of the obscene amount of energy required to heat
  up and dematerialize one human body.
• To store the encoded information of one human
  being it will need 1 followed by 20 zeros of the
  best available hard drives. So this limits our
  ability to teleport objects in terms of
  equipment.
• It will take more than 2,400 times the present
  age of the universe to access this amount of data
  for us to teleport

Quantum Teleportation is possible

• Scientists have tried it on photons and ions
  making use of a quantum phenomenon called quantum
  entanglement. By preparing two particles together
  the particles become connected or entangled
  regardless of the arbitrary space between them.

• Teleportation should not be confused with quantum
  teleportation for they are very different fields.
  
• One is applied only in science fiction books and
  movies and is not proven scientifically possible
  yet, and the other is applied in laboratories
  with different atomic particles.
