On the Star Trek Enterprise they did this. And now these scientists have successfully tested the first steps:
They used a special form of laser beams in the experiment. “As can be done with the physical states of elementary particles, the properties of light beams can also be entangled,” explains Dr Marco Ornigotti, a member of Prof. Szameit’s team. For physicists, “entanglement” means a sort of codification. “You link the information you would like to transmit to a particular property of the light,” clarifies Ornigotti who led the experiments for the study that was now presented.
In their particular case, the physicists have encoded some information in a particular polarisation direction of the laser light and have transmitted this information to the shape of the laser beam using teleportation.
That is absolutely mind boggling. The key is they said they lost no time in the process which basically defines quantum entanglement vs. shining a light and waiting for the signal or information to reach the destination.
Stay tuned for more updates on this insanely awesome experiment.
thanks to Eureka Alert for the great info

Why do you make us wade through endless advertising just to read a few sentences?
A teleportation device would just be a cloning device that would send the person or clone to the destination
You would need more computer power than available at this time. Too much information to remove and then put back together. Correctly anyway!
The public may need more computer power but the military industrial complex is at the least 50 years ahead so they probably already have it.
Fascinating.
If one atom was not put back in exactly the same order wouldn’t you just be toast?
Can you transport your soul? To create you must destroy the original and Are you just a copy?
Cool.
NEVER WORK NOT UNTIL YOU BECOME GOD.
Teleportation would be more like a telegraph, but a wormhole teleport gate you would need to rip a stable hole in space and time at each end. That can be done
Is it that you need a huge wire hollowed and shaped like a cylinder? Or is it the one where an entire living organism is broken up into tiny little chunks, all pieces alive contained in nano machines, and all the nano machine pieces are beamed up to a different location? Otherwise, I don’t believe in teleportation.
You cant teleport your soul..
How could cloning actually work?
It might work for inanimate objects but not for people
Perhaps encapsulate the entity as a whole, and then bend gravity around the whatchamacallit field.
Wouldn’t your original form have to be destroyed?
Lots of non scientists showing off their “knowledge” here
It is doable … spaceboy !!!
Destroys the original* and I have some difficulty with this…
If you like scrambled eggs!
Einstein was a patent clerk.
Tim Spence he also had a scientific education
Yes but he formed most of his ideas while he was a nobody
Susskind was a plumber.
