Beam me up is one of the most famous catchphrases from the Star Trek series. It’s the command issued when a character wishes to teleport from a remote location back to the Star-ship Enterprise.
While human teleportation currently exists only in science fiction, teleportation is possible now in the subatomic world of quantum mechanics — albeit not in the way typically depicted on TV.
In the quantum world, teleportation involves the transportation of information, rather than the transportation of matter.
Quantum teleportation involves two distant, entangled particles in which the state of a third particle instantly teleports its state to the two entangled particles.
Last year, scientists confirmed that information could be passed between photons on computer chips even when the photons were not physically linked.
Now, according to National Science Foundation-funded research by University of Rochester and Purdue University scientists, teleportation may also be possible between electrons.
In a paper published in Nature Communications and one to appear in Physical Review X, the researchers, including Rochester physicists John Nichol and Andrew Jordan, explore new ways of creating quantum-mechanical interactions between distant electrons.
The research is an important step in improving quantum computing, the scientists say, and has the potential to revolutionize technology, medicine and science by providing faster and more efficient processors and sensors.
Quantum teleportation is a demonstration of what Albert Einstein famously called spooky action at a distance — also known as quantum entanglement.
In entanglement, one of the basic of concepts of quantum physics, the properties of one particle affect the properties of another, even when the particles are separated by a large distance.

Possible ( maybe ) on non animate objects but organic human beings ??— I think not .Virtual programmes are possible on a computer but not transference of human organic matter over a distance . Way back in the 50,s a horror film was made called “The FLY ” where a human was transferred a short distance from a transmitting pod to a receiving one . The problem arose when a fly got into the transmitting pod –result — grotesque ” human” fly . Transmission via airspace allows pickup by anything in its path no matter how small that combines with… Read more »
Quantum computers are the dream of modern physics as they could solve problems that are too difficult for today’s most powerful supercomputers, but creating them requires learning how to manage the elusive quantum particles, which are smaller than atoms.
We have been guinea pigs in many encounters, but with teleportation it remains the question.
Non-animate objects- possible but as it stands scientists cant even replace the human brain with a chip in a living entity and for that body to exist the way it did with a brain.
Your right about existing guinea pigs – convicts got reduced sentences if they took experimental drugs in the USA for Big Pharma and even in the 60,s various small towns in the USA were aerial sprayed with chemicals at the behest of the military industry to test reactions when used against enemies as well as chemicals put into water supplies.
Wow, testing these stuff on their own population, how bizarre.
