Teleportation

Some scientists believe it is not possible to teleport macroscopic objects such as human beings, but there may be teleportation in the microscopic world. Three possible kinds of teleportation in quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics have been proposed: state teleportation, energy teleportation, and particle teleportation.^{[citation needed]}

In 1993, Bennett et al^[8] proposed that a quantum state of a particle could be teleported to another distant particle, but the two particles do not move at all. This is called state teleportation. There are a lot of following theoretical and experimental papers published.^{[citation needed]} Researchers believe that quantum teleportation is the foundation of quantum calculation and quantum communication.^{[citation needed]}

In 2008, M. Hotta^[9] proposed that it may be possible to teleport energy by exploiting quantum energy fluctuations of an entangled vacuum state of a quantum field. There are some papers published but no experimental verification.^{[citation needed]}

In 2016, Y. Wei proposed that particles themselves could teleport from one place to another.^[10] This is called particle teleportation. With this concept, superconductivity can be viewed as the teleportation of some electrons in the superconductor and superfluidity as the teleportation of some of the atoms in the cellular tube. Physicists are trying to verify this concept experimentally.^{[citation needed]}
