Quantum teleportation is in fact a quantum generalization of the classical one time pad. And it does form a secure channel, but with the same caveats as in the classical case (e.g. it's not authenticated). Many quantum things have classical analogues. For example, there is classical no cloning [1] and classical delayed erasure [2], though people will debate if these classical versions have really captured the "essence" of the quantum things. 1: https://marozols.wordpress.com/2012/05/21/three-myths-about-quantum-computing-part-2/ https://marozols.wordpress.com/2012/05/21/three-myths-about-... 2: http://algassert.com/post/1720 http://algassert.com/post/1720
