INTRODUCTION:Ever since the wheel was invented more than 5,000 years ago, people have been inventing new ways to travel faster from one point to another.

To avoid the problem of covering a physical distance and to minimise the time ,there are scientists working right now on such a method of travel, combining properties of telecommunications and transportation to achieve a system called teleportation

TELEPORTATION: Teleportation involves dematerializing an bject at one point, and sending the details of that object's precise atomic configuration to another location, where it will be reconstructed. What this means is that time and space could be eliminated from travel -- we could be transported to any location instantly, without actually crossing a physical distance

In 1993, the idea of teleportation moved out of the realm of science fiction and into the world of theoretical possibility. It was then that physicist Charles Bennett and a team of researchers at IBM confirmed that quantum teleportation was possible, but only if the original object being teleported was destroyed. This revelation, first announced by Bennett at an annual meeting of the American Physical Society in March 1993

PHOTON EXPERIMENTS:In 1998, physicists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), along with two European groups.
The Caltech group was able to read the atomic structure of a photon

In performing the experiment, the Caltech group was able to get around the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, the main barrier for teleportation of objects larger than a photon. This principle states that you cannot simultaneously know the location and the speed of a particle. In order to teleport a photon without violating the Heisenberg Principle, the Caltech physicists used a phenomenon known as entanglement.

ENTANGLEMENT: Entanglement means achieving the properties one photon by another photon.

In entanglement, at least three photons are needed to achieve teleportation:

1.Photon A:The photon to be teleported


2.Photon B:The transporting photon

3.Photon C:The photon that is entangled with photon B

PRINCIPLE OF ENTANGLEMENT :Two photons E1 & K and a beam spliters (it splits a light into two equal parts)

are required
We direct one of the entangled photons, say E1, to the beam splitter.

Meanwhile, we prepare another photon with a polarization of 45 degree , and direct it to the same beam splitter from the other side, as shown.
This is the photon whose properties will be transported; we label it K . We time it so that both E1 and K reach the beam splitter at the same time.

The E1 photon incident from above will be reflected by the beam splitter some of the time and will be transmitted some of the time. Similarly for the K photon that is incident from below. So sometimes both photons will end up going up and to the right as shown.
Similarly, sometimes both photons will end up going down and to the right.

However, in the case of one photon going upwards and the other going downwards, we can not tell which is which. Perhaps both photons were reflected by the beam splitter, but perhaps both were transmitted. This means that the two photons have become entangled.

HUMAN TELEPORTATION:For a person to be transported, a machine would have to be built that can pinpoint and analyze all of the 10(to the power 28 ) atoms that make up the human body. That's a more than a trillion trillion atoms. This machine would then have to send this information to another location, where the person's body would be reconstructed with exact precision. Molecules couldn't be even a millimeter out of place, lest the person arrive with some severe neurological or physiological defect.

HOW IT BE POSSIBLE:Teleportation would combining genetic cloning with digitization. Their original mind and body would no longer exist. Instead, their atomic structure would be recreated in another location. So the travelers would still exist, but they would do so in a new body, of the same atomic structure as the original body, programmed with the same information

QUANTUM TELEPORTATION:In quantum teleportation the original object is scanned in such a way as to extract all the information from it, then this information is transmitted to the receiving location and used to construct the replica, not necessarily from the actual material of the original, but perhaps from atoms of the same kinds, arranged in exactly the same pattern as the original. as well as documents.

PRACTICAL APPLICATION:Physicists can already teleport tiny things, such as a beam of light or the angular spin of atomic nuclei. But physicists caution that teleportation research is still in the early development stage.

But within 20 years, Laflamme said teleportation could be a fundamental step in the creation of quantum computers, cryptography, and an emerging technology called "superdense coding," in which two quantum bits could be transmitted for the price one.

CONCLUSION
But like all technologies, scientists are sure to continue to improve upon the ideas of teleportation, to the point that we may one day be able to avoid such harsh methods. One day, one of our descendents could finish up a work day at a space office above some far away planet in a galaxy many light years from Earth, tell his or her wristwatch that it's time to beam home for dinner on planet X below and sit down at the dinner table as soon as the words leave his mouth.
