Photon Teleportation: Can it Really Happen?

[Khaled332]

Can photons really be teleported? and how so, what is the procedure that allows them to go from point a to point b, what materials are used, could someone give an example and provide a link with pictures?

It's not nearly as glamorous as it sounds. It's really transmitting properties, not particles. But two particles with identical properties are indistinguishable.

Wiki has a primer on it.
