The problem with teleportation (…is legal methodology)
Mathias Klang @klang67
Inter Canary quantum teleportation
The easy part.
“To achieve this, we combine advanced techniques involving a frequency-uncorrelated polarization-entangled photon pair source, ultra-low-noise single-photon detectors and entanglement-assisted clock synchronization… Our experiment verifies the maturity and applicability of such technologies in real-world scenarios, in particular for future satellite-based quantum teleportation.”
age old concept
Siegfried uses a magic helmet to teleport in Wagners Ring…
We expect teleportation

Ignore time travel: can’t handle the paradoxes

Teleportation has its advantages
duplication
Property – who owns the transported?
Murder, manslaughter, suicide or euthanasia
Illegal downloading = kidnapping?
privacy & protection

human rights: right not to be teleported?
Imagine immigration & family law
Teleportation will redefine humanity: The soul in transportation
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
