Comment on Scientists Want to Teleport a Whole Human. A Quantum Breakthrough Could Make It Reality.

Complete BS article.

Quantum teleportation is very different from scifi teleportation.

Quantum teleportation is a way to bypass the heisenburg uncertainty principal. You take a particle and entangle it (in a special way) with a carrier particle. You then send the carrier (generally a photon) to another particle of the same type as the first. When they interact, most of the properties of the first particle are transferred to the second.

This is extremely useful for things like quantum computing, but has no real path to teleporting a human.
