Teleportation demonstrated?

[McHrozni]

My understanding is that the 'teleportation' name is something of a misnomer, because 'information' is being moved, rather than actual matter.

That's what teleportation is. This guy explains it well:

*They know that people are going to instantly think Star Trek & "beam me up" and be much more likely to click on (and maybe even read) the story than if it was a truthful representation of the actual content of the story.

It seems to me that quantum teleportation really is exactly like teleportation in the star trek sense, though to be fair star trek isn't always clear about how their transporter is supposed to work.

star trek isn't always clear about how their transporter is supposed to work.

That is because it murders people.

Can't be exactly like it, the ones in Star Trek violate the no cloning theorem occasionally.

The ones on Star Trek violated the "can't do anything that is required for the plot to work" theorem constantly.
