Isn't that how actual sci-fi teleportation would work behind the scenes as well? Basically, if I wanted to teleport myself from one city to another. I'd actually die and disappear, and an exact copy myself would be created instantly in the other city. It would be teleportation for the rest of the world but for me it would be death.

- TheRealPomax 10y agoIf they relied on quantum teleportation: no, not in the slightest. In order to QT a particle (explicitly not using the verb "teleport" here, because it's a very different thing) you need three additional particles for every particle you're QTing. A pair of entangled particles that act as your fascilitator, and a spare particle on the other end to take on the information state of the one you're QTing. So unless your sci-fi teleporter comes with a massive amount of pre-entangled particles half of which you have, half of which "they" have, plus an equivalent-mass-worth of particles to accept the teleportation subject, it's still just science fiction.
