Is it true that teletransportation of atoms is nowadays possible?

Austrian researchers have teleported photons (particles of light) across the Danube River in Vienna using technology that calls to mind Scotty beaming up Captain Kirk in the science fiction series. \n\n\n"We were able to perform a quantum teleportation experiment for the first time ever outside a university laboratory," said Rupert Ursin, a researcher at the Institute for Experimental Physics at the University of Vienna in Austria. \n\nThe researchers read the "blueprints" of the photons they wanted to teleport. They then broke up the photons into smaller particles called quantum bits and sent these bits, along with the blueprints, through a fiber-optic cable in a sewage pipe under the river.

Not too unlikely apparently:\n\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/2157975.stm

It is much faster and efficient to transmit information than it is to transport matter. For that reaon, a practical system of teleportation would not transport all your atoms. Instead, it would disassemble you particle by particle, creating a dataset of the pattern. It would then transmit the dataset at the speed of light to your destination, where raw materials are available to reassemble you from the pattern. The raw materials are recycled from others who have been disassembled in the process of teleportation. \n\nAfter teleportation, you will be the same person, with the same memories, knowledge, and personality. The only difference is that you won't consist of the original particles. That should not matter, because all atoms of any element are identical and indistinguishable.

No.\n\nThere is something often called "quantum teleportation," but it is much more analgous to a fax machine which send a set ot particle properties from one subatomic particle or atom, to another subatomic particle or atom. This is imporant work and will likely impact things like cryptography, but, despite the name which appears in popular accounts it is NOT teleportation in the Star Trek sense.\n\nEven in star trek they realize that it is fundamentally impossible to identify the position and location of each particle in a person accurately enough to be able to reconstruct it - hense the 'heisenberg compensator' they mention in some of the more recent shows.\n\nAlso the amount of energy in something the size of a person is enormous, more than all the nuclear weapons we have. (I'm guessing, but it is in that range.)\n\nSo, no, I would hope no one is working on this. At best, someone can be working on the physics which will lead to the physics that leads to the physics underlying such a device. Assuming such a device is even possible.

there already are hover cars (just not yet in production).\nas for teleportation, i suppose it is not yet possible. think about it, existence is like a 4 dimensional coordinate system where the 3 dimensions (x,y,z) are dependent on the 4th coordinate, which is time. Right now, if we follow this 4d coordinate system, the whole function of existence would be continuous. The introduction of teleportation in this scenarion would cause the function of existence to be discontinuous, which would be very hard to explain. Put simply, it is really hard to drastically change the (x,y,z) coordinates as the time it takes for the change approaches zero (teleportation).

That doesn't exist. There is, however, nanotechnology. Read all about it...

yes it exists...\nbut cant be achieved by man....\nmay be in near future he may achieve tht too...i dont know coz now i cant travel into future..\nk...according to this guy called einstein..\nwhen some body travels at a speed relative to tht of light,lets say some 0.9c where c is speed of light then in tht frame the time contracts..he told a twin paradox to make it clear..\nlets say there r 2 twins of age 25...if one of them travels at a speed of some 0.9c for some 20 yrs (this 20 yrs is in our frame)\nthen after tht when he comes again to rest then he finds himself to be some 27 yrs old when his brother is 45 yrs old..\nso its equivalent to going into future...\nbut till now there is no theory to prove that travelling into past is possible..\ni think thts not possible...coz past is already happened n if its possible we can change the past....which is not possible as it is already happened....\nits all just theory...i wonder how can anyone achieve a speed relative to that of light....can any material sustain that much of speed???no way...so i think we cant make such time machine which can travel at a speed relative to that of light...

Yes.  In fact protons even from two different elements are indistinguishable.  This is a fundamental property that is quite interesting, and it results in some very odd behavior.

teleportation has no chance of being here in 30 years.. \n\nthere is no way to teleport all of the atoms in a human, and being able to arrange them in exactly the same order, without changing anything.. and if it were posible.. you would potentially be creating a clone of you everytime you teleport and killing yourself on the other side.. I saw a documentary on this .. and believe me .. not even close to being close to being close to teleportation\n\nbut it sure would be nice.. I hate airplanes

Actually, we can.\nIf you put lead into an "atom smasher" you can synthesize gold.\nThe problem is that the process costs more than the price of gold.

Teleportation. We at least have theory on how teleportation could work. If the universe under discussion permits of time machines, then no time machines will be invented. The noted s/f author Larry Niven wrote a couple excellent essays on these topics, which I recommend to your attention. They will provide all the information you could possibly need.

Cant rule out the possibility. \nBut..... based on currently available technology its very unlikely  within the next 50 to100 years. Definitely not in our life time.

Saw a documentary some time ago where they had managed to 'teleport' energy a couple of feet, so I guess it is may be a possibility at some stage.

Not we as humans, but scientists are working on the technology to send atoms back in time.  The logic to behind this makes no sense.  Here's part of an article I read once on the website Space.com:\n\nTaught in physics classes the world over, Albert Einsteins theory of special relativity holds that no object or information can move faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, or 186,000 miles (300,000 kilometers) per second. But NECs Lijun Wang says he created an experiment in which a light beam raced through a gas-filled chamber so quickly, it exceeded the speed of light by a factor of 300. Whats more, the light pulse appears to have left the confines of the chamber before it even entered a seemingly impossible occurrence according to theories of causality, which predict that causes must always precede their effects.\n\nSo, this possibly hints that the light is going back in time, but if this is what it means it violates laws of causality and sends quantum physics into disrepair.  \n\nTraveling to the past is impossible given our current views of the universe and physics.  However, if the universe isn't a universe, but rather a multiverse of infinite parallel universes we could jump to another universe that exists simulatneously at an earlier time.  This would not violate causality or the grandfather paradox (which is that if you could go back in time you could kill your grandfather  which would mean you would never be born to kill your grandfather).  YOu could kill your grandfather in another universe and you would never exist in that universe, but you would still exist because in your universe your grandfather had never died.

I see the future of telecom tech as far more inter-connected than it is today. Anyone who has a telecom device will be able to advertise their availability to every other device holder on the planet, establish virtual contact which will include all 5 human senses in 4d (real time), and eventually be able to transmit solid objects from one user to another by using the handheld teleportation device.\nRecent tech has only just brought into the fore the second sensory transmission ability, visual, in 2d real time. This trend will simply continue to advance as it has been.

Yes, yes and yes\n\nAll of it is refracted, some is absorbed (not a lot) and some is transmitted (most)

In theory, yes.  You create a new element each time you add one more proton to the previous one.\n\nIn practice, there seems to be a practical limit to the stability of the artificial elements that requires exponentially increasing amounts of energy to create the heavier artificial elements.  And since these new elements are usually only stable for tiny fractions of a second, we can't hold them in place for long enough to pump another proton in.\n\nInstead, what physicists do is take larger stable atoms and smash them together, and then look for signs of new elements based on their expected decay particles.
