Quantum Teleportation: Is It Possible?

Click For Summary
Quantum teleportation has been successfully demonstrated with photons and other elementary particles, but significant challenges remain for teleporting larger objects, such as humans. The process involves destroying the original particle to create an identical one elsewhere, raising philosophical questions about identity and existence. Decoherence poses a major obstacle, as it disrupts the entanglement necessary for teleportation. While quantum teleportation could potentially aid in quantum computing and communication, practical applications for macroscopic objects are unlikely in the near future. Overall, while the concept is intriguing, the complexities of quantum mechanics make large-scale teleportation seem improbable at this time.

The person we were 1 minute ago, in our physical world as we percieve it, is no longer
the person we are now. (t- n, may never equal t) although I know our set theories tell us that
this should be a part of the set, (if n=0), but we have excluded n=0 many times in the past (boundaries?).

I don't see how this would affect what you are looking for, just might make some old human predjudices obsolete. We have to look at "n" approaching "0" to get as close as we are able.

I agree with Selfadjoint, it is unpalatable, but can not be proven to be incorrect. ( I was about to say is right, but this would not be true.)

It's worth to mention that there are various schemes, various arrangements of entangled particles and procedures to perform the teleportation. Each of these schemes is called a teleportation protocol. The first of these protocols was proposed in 1993 by Bennett, is called Bennett protocol. The protocol known as quantum scissors, was proposed in 1998 by Pegg, Phillips and Barnett. Kak teleportation protocol was proposed in 2003 in this paper

I just notice this thread and will have a go through. I would not like disseminate what has already been hashed out logically and consistently.

I think this well sets the definitions for the Philosophy of Teleportation Thread.

Can these threads be joined under this heading?
