Quantum Teleportation: Is It Possible?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Quantum teleportation has been experimentally achieved with elementary particles such as photons and electrons, demonstrating the ability to "teleport" them across short distances by destroying the original particle and recreating it elsewhere. However, the teleportation of macroscopic objects, including humans, remains impractical due to significant challenges such as decoherence and the limitations imposed by the no-cloning theorem in quantum mechanics. Current quantum teleportation techniques are primarily applicable in quantum computing, and while advancements may occur, large-scale teleportation is not feasible in the near future.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum mechanics principles, particularly quantum entanglement.
  • Familiarity with the no-cloning theorem in quantum physics.
  • Knowledge of decoherence and its implications in quantum systems.
  • Basic concepts of quantum computing and its applications.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of decoherence in quantum systems and its impact on quantum teleportation.
  • Explore the no-cloning theorem and its significance in quantum mechanics.
  • Investigate current advancements in quantum computing and how they relate to quantum teleportation.
  • Study the principles of quantum entanglement, including Bell's inequality and the EPR theorem.
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, quantum computing researchers, and anyone interested in the theoretical and practical aspects of quantum teleportation and its implications for future technologies.

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?
