Space/Science » in reply to If you're talking about the actual teletransportion of matter, there's one equation that keeps coming to mind...

Teleportation yes, but replication?!

It's true, the article is all over the place today. I thought I'd go to Oz to find more info:

[Quantum teleporting is problematic for humans because the original is destroyed in the process of creating the replica.

"I think teleporting of that kind is very, very far away," Dr Lam said.

"We don't know how to do that with a single atom yet.

"But that doesn't mean that in the far future it's not possible," he said.]

Hmm, transporting, yes... replicating, I'll have to give it some thought, but as of right now and imho, I don't think so. :) Let's see how that one atom does first.
