The term teleportation is a little misleading. Matter is not being transported but, rather, information. Sort of like dissasembling a house brick by brick, and simultaneously destroying the original brick and making a duplicate brick at a location down the street. If you do it really fast, it looks like a house disappears and reappears when that's not exactly the way it went down. The new house is an exact replica of the original but the original is no longer in its original state. The atoms are still there but they aren't a house anymore.


Teleporting actual matter remains out of the question (so far).
