Quantum Teleportation

How this is accomplished is usually not explained in detail, but the general idea seems to be that the original object is scanned in such a way as to extract all the information from it, then this information is transmitted to the receiving location and used to construct the replica,

this article has great info,there is info that pertains to your question,

 

 

How Teleportation Will Work

In physics, teleportation does not convert a particle to energy and recreate the particle somewhere else.



 

 

Gah, what a horrendous article.

 

Teleportation involves dematerializing an object at one point, and sending the details of that object's precise atomic configuration to another location, where it will be reconstructed.

 

No, what happens is you destroy the information about the state of the particle, not the particle itself.

 

Rule of thumb: if a teleportation article mentions a Star Trek transporter analogy, it's crap. The only allowable mention is to explain how quantum teleportation is not in any way like Star Trek transporter technology.

Also Kaku is not to be trusted on the topic of entanglement or teleportation

Even that mentions destruction of the original and implies that Star Trek style teleportation violates no laws of physics. It's only later in the article you learn that they are speaking of states bing disrupted.

If a photon has a frequency of 10^15,do we know what a photon is from one femtosecond to the next femtosecond.

The uncertainty principle says it's momentum and position cannot be known simultaneously.

Reading one of Kaku's books led me to Physics Forum and then here almost a decade ago. He's always been (to me, at least) the popsci hook that hopefully grabs your interest so it can be funneled into a more meaningful and accurate understanding.

And? That has nothing to do with making a particle disappear and reappear somewhere else.
