Teleportation involves dematerializing an object and transmitting its atomic configuration to another location for reconstruction. Recent experiments have successfully teleported photons and information between light and matter. Potential applications include quantum cryptography and quantum computing. However, teleporting larger objects like atoms, living things, or humans remains enormously challenging due to the vast number of atomic parameters involved. While teleportation of photons has been demonstrated, teleporting humans or enabling time travel remains in the realm of science fiction given our current technological capabilities.
