There’s just one catch: every atom in your body would be fully disassembled to the quantum level, effectively leaving your original body totally destroyed.
It’d be easier to control wormholes and use those

Replicators first, please.

So just like Star Trek
I would absolutely volunteer for this, abso-friggin-lutely.
If I die in the process, I’m not gonna know it, and new me ain’t gonna either. At least that’s how I see it.
Now that trump won ill even volunteer to go first LOL.
You should read The Jaunt to acquire the completely healthy and rational fear of teleportation
That story gives me chills every time I think about the woman.
Ha! Came here to tell OP it’s probably a longer trip than he thinks.
Even if they manage this, I’ll bet “you” die each time something 'effectively … destroy[s]" you down to a quantum level.
That depends on the nature of what “you” ultimately turn out to be. I tend to suspect (though with only a suspicion to go on and not proof, I probably wouldn’t be volunteering) that what “you” ultimately are is the pattern of information stored in the structure of your brain, and thus, any sufficiently perfect copy of that information is the “same” person regardless of continuity of the body. Though creating a second copy before destroying the original would have the caveat that as soon as the second you exists, the different perspective and experience will lead them to diverge into two different people who both have equal claim to the original identity, so that I think to do this, you’d want to destroy the original slightly before, making the process more like resurrection in a new location.
There really should be a way around that part of things, maybe if the distance is short enough you could move particles instead of recreating them

Bet they come out like doodlebob
