Teleportation
ConceptAbout
Teleportation is a concept often depicted in science fiction as the instantaneous transfer of matter or energy from one location to another without traversing the space between them. This idea has been explored in various forms of media, including literature and film, where characters are transported across vast distances in an instant. The term "teleportation" was coined by Charles Fort in 1931 to describe unexplained disappearances and reappearances. In the realm of quantum mechanics, a related concept known as quantum teleportation exists. This involves transferring the quantum state of a particle to another particle without physical movement, using entangled particles to facilitate the transfer. Quantum teleportation relies on the principles of quantum entanglement and does not allow for faster-than-light communication. It has been experimentally demonstrated and holds potential for applications in quantum computing and secure communication[1][2][3].
