Wikipedia simply says that it is impossible to transform a quantum state to classical info and then back to the same state but doesn't really give a reason why. Can anybody explain in simple terms the reasoning behind this.
The "No teleportation theorem" is a concept in quantum mechanics which states that it is impossible to perfectly teleport an unknown quantum state from one location to another. This means that it is not possible to create an identical copy of an unknown quantum state in a different location without physically moving it.
The "No teleportation theorem" is based on the principles of quantum mechanics, specifically the principle of superposition and the no-cloning theorem. These principles state that it is impossible to create an identical copy of an unknown quantum state without physically moving it, as doing so would destroy the original state.
Quantum entanglement, which is the phenomenon of two or more particles being connected in such a way that the state of one particle is dependent on the state of the other, is often associated with teleportation. However, the "No teleportation theorem" still applies in this case as the entangled particles must be physically transported to their respective locations in order to be measured, breaking the entanglement and destroying the original state.
While the "No teleportation theorem" applies to unknown quantum states, it is possible to teleport known quantum states. This is because knowing the state of a particle allows for it to be recreated in a different location without violating the principle of superposition.
The "No teleportation theorem" has implications for the development of quantum technologies, specifically in the fields of quantum computing and quantum communication. It also has implications for our understanding of the fundamental laws of physics and the nature of reality.
