Teleportation
By: Karma Marwan & Omar El-Rakhawi
Definition
• Teleportation is the movement of objects
or elementary particles from one place to
another, more or less instantaneously,
without traveling through space.
• This idea of teleporting oneself or an
object from one place to the other instantly
has been applicable only in fiction but not
yet scientifically possible due to limitations
in time, energy, and equipment
• The idea of transporting oneself or a
certain object from one place to another
instantaneously is found most recently in
movies such as star trek, and jumper
Quantum Teleportation
• Definition: A technique exploiting the
entanglement of separate quantum systems in
which information about a quantum state is
transferred to a distant location so that a particle
can effectively be recreated there, the original
state being destroyed in the process
• What is possible is a phenomenon in quantum
mechanics called quantum teleportation.
• Experiments of quantum teleportation have been
carried out on the atomic level, and proved
possible
Teleportation is not possible
because:
• Of the obscene amount of energy required to
heat up and dematerialize one human body.
• To store the encoded information of one human
being it will need 1 followed by 20 zeros of the
best available hard drives. So this limits our
ability to teleport objects in terms of equipment.
• It will take more than 2,400 times the present
age of the universe to access this amount of
data for us to teleport
Quantum Teleportation is possible
• Scientists have tried it on photons and
ions making use of a quantum
phenomenon called quantum
entanglement. By preparing two particles
together the particles become connected
or entangled regardless of the arbitrary
space between them.
A diagram on how quantum
teleportation works
• Teleportation should not be confused with
quantum teleportation for they are very
different fields.
• One is applied only in science fiction
books and movies and is not proven
scientifically possible yet, and the other is
applied in laboratories with different atomic
particles.
