quantum teleportation

To recreate an object in a distant location. Some scientists believe that the Star Trek mode of human teleportation is theoretically possible when we are finally able to decode every atom in the human body. Others claim it is pure nonsense. However, thus far, quantum teleportation has been proven to work with molecules. Stay tuned... you may be teleported into a distant galaxy some day! See quantum computing.

Ari investigated the science of quantum teleportation. He found that once atoms are linked through a process called "entanglement," information from one atom will just appear in another atom when the quantum state of the first atom is destroyed.
