derek w Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Does nature work on the principle of teleportation,with confined quarks acting as anchorage points? Most of the other particles can be converted to energy and recreated somewhere else.

swansont Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 In physics, teleportation does not convert a particle to energy and recreate the particle somewhere else. How Teleportation Will Workhttp://science.howstuffworks.com/science-vs-myth/everyday-myths/teleportation.htm Gah, what a horrendous article. Teleportation involves dematerializing an object at one point, and sending the details of that object's precise atomic configuration to another location, where it will be reconstructed. No, what happens is you destroy the information about the state of the particle, not the particle itself. Rule of thumb: if a teleportation article mentions a Star Trek transporter analogy, it's crap. The only allowable mention is to explain how quantum teleportation is not in any way like Star Trek transporter technology.
krash661 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) yeah, the IBM article is the best, http://researcher.watson.ibm.com/researcher/view_project.php?id=2862 Edited April 22, 2013 by krash661
swansont Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Also Kaku is not to be trusted on the topic of entanglement or teleportation http://blogs.scienceforums.net/swansont/archives/6138 http://scienceblogs.com/principles/2010/06/23/the-physics-of-the-imbecile/ yeah, the IBM article is the best,http://researcher.watson.ibm.com/researcher/view_project.php?id=2862 Even that mentions destruction of the original and implies that Star Trek style teleportation violates no laws of physics. It's only later in the article you learn that they are speaking of states bing disrupted.
krash661 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Hmm, interesting. can you provide accurate info on this ? is there other articles, papers or something on this ? Edited April 22, 2013 by krash661
derek w Posted April 22, 2013 Author Posted April 22, 2013 In physics, teleportation does not convert a particle to energy and recreate the particle somewhere else. If a photon has a frequency of 10^15,do we know what a photon is from one femtosecond to the next femtosecond. The uncertainty principle says it's momentum and position cannot be known simultaneously.
Phi for All Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Also Kaku is not to be trusted on the topic of entanglement or teleportation Reading one of Kaku's books led me to Physics Forum and then here almost a decade ago. He's always been (to me, at least) the popsci hook that hopefully grabs your interest so it can be funneled into a more meaningful and accurate understanding. Hot dogs are tasty but steak will make you strong.
