The original paper [1], written by some of the best scientists of the era, correctly called it "Teleporting an Unknown Quantum State", and nowhere did it use the term "quantum teleportation". Later, in interest of conciseness, the ambiguous term "quantum teleportation" got introduced. It would have been better if "quantum state teleportation" had been used.

- buboard 8y agobut quantum state is all that can ever be measured about the system so seems a redundant word
- nine_k 8y agoNo mass is teleported, that's the key. A state of one mass is copied to another mass, but no mass is moved in the sense that would invoke General Relativity, as far as I understand. I suppose teleporting a state in such a way that the target mass would change its motion in a significant way ("accelerated") without affecting the source mass is impossible, because it would break the conservation of impulse.
