Abstract
Summary form only given. A particularly startling discovery by Bennett et al. is the possibility for teleportation of a quantum state, whereby an unknown state of a spin-1/2 particle is transported by Alice from a sending station to Bob at a receiving terminal by conveying 2 bits of classical information. Beyond the context of dichotomic variables, Vaidman has analyzed teleportation of the wave function of a one-dimensional particle in a beautiful variation of the original EPR paradox. Here we extend Vaidman's analysis to incorporate finite (nonsingular) degrees of correlation among the relevant particles.
