Abstract
The dream of teleportation is to be able to travelby simply reappearing at some distant location. Itmight appear that one could scan the object andsend the information so that the object can bereconstructed at the destination. In conventionalfacsimile transmission an original object isscanned to extract partial information about it.The scanned information is sent to the receivingstation, where it is used to produce anapproximate copy of the original object. Theoriginal remains intact after the scanning process.By contrast, in quantum teleportation, theuncertainty principle forbids any scanningprocess from extracting all the information in aquantum state. Charles H. Bennett and hiscoworkers showed that a quantum state can beteleported provides one does not know that stateusing a celebrated and paradoxical feature ofquantum mechanics known as the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) effect. In brief, they found away to scan out part of the information from anobject
