Question:

WHAT are the steps to transfer (teleport) SOLID object?

there was an experiment in 2004, it was successfully done by some researchers.

but i need the technical overview and the requirement to do that, because the fax only read two dimension and and paste it on the other side. but solid objects needs three dimensions atom reader with measuring the atom density which its called "quantum state" .

So what are the requirement to do this experiment ?

is it beng used analogue or digital signaling ?

and is the carrier signal responsible of caring these atoms just like voice and data ?

  1. Step 1, get yourself zapped into a magical, science fiction world where the laws of phsyics do not apply.

    This has never been done.

    Quantum teleportation has been done, but this really is a huge misnomer as it in no way resembles the science fiction teleportation you talk about and does not involve transporting solid objects - or indeed any object at all.

    All that is done in quantum teleporation is that system state is transferred. Not very useful to get from A to B. And it only works for fundamental particles, not fare paying passengers.

    The name was chosen to generate press hype. It clearly worked.


  2. Well, there is some truth to the other answers.  Teleportation of matter has never been done.  Quantum teleportation involving a matter-based system has been done.  But the matter was not teleported, the state of the matter was teleported.  Specifically, there were ions that could be in one of two atomic states (spin up or down) and the state which it was in was teleported from one atom to another atom.  This was done in two physics labs, one Colorado using beryllium ions and another in Austria using calcium atoms.

    The details are quite complicated and I don't have the time to explain it all here.  But basically, using a special quantum state called entanglement, and a series of measurements on one ion and controlled operations on another ion, that state was transfered from the first ion to a second ion, via a third ion.  The 'signaling' is done using a quantum channel which is neither analog nor digital, along with a classical channel which is digital.  The requirements are exceptional control over the states and measurement of ions (or similar systems).  But, again, no matter is being teleproted, only the state of an atom.

    It's kind of like, if piece of paper had the word 'banana' written on it, and you had another identical piece of paper with nothing written on it.  Then you teleported the state of 'having banana written on it' from the first paper to the second paper without ever knowing what was written on either piece of paper.  It would be the same as moving the first piece of paper to the location of the second piece of paper (since either way you end up with a piece of paper with the given word on it) but since you didn't actually move the paper from location A to location B, you must have teleported it.  This is a very hard thing to explain well to someone who does not have an understanding of quantum mechanics, since it relies on things very fundamental to quantum mechanics that are as weird as they are hard to comprehend.

    The claim that the term "quantum teleportation" was coined to generate media hype is ridiculous.  The term was coined by quantum theorists long before an experiment that could demonstrate it was conceived.  Those involved in these experiments did not choose the term and are well aware of the undue hype it has caused in the general public.  The hype it has caused in the physics and quantum information community, on the other hand, is certainly warranted.  It is called teleportation because it does in fact involve the transfer of something between two physically distinct locations without physically transporting the state, which is exactly what teleportation is.  And the basic principles of quantum teleportation would certainly allow star trek style teleportation of matter but there is one very big hurdle to cross to get there.  That hurdle is sufficient control of the system.  It is hard to control the state of an ion.  It is much much much much harder to control the state of matter.  But if you had that control, you could teleport matter in exactly the same way.  Getting that much control over matter would be nearly impossible and will not be done any time soon.

  3. Not possible. Has never been done, never will.
