Who proposed the idea of teleportation?


Who proposed the idea of teleportation?

The idea of teleportation isn’t new. Our mythical gods used it to travel around the world. In 1993, this idea moved out of the realm of fiction, and into the world of theoretical possibility, when physicist Charles Bennett and a team of researchers at IBM confirmed that quantum teleportation was possible. However, they revealed that it would succeed only if the original object being teleported was destroyed. Since then, experiments have proven that teleportation is in fact possible.

In October 2006, Professor Eugene Polzik and his team at Copenhagen University, Denmark, made a breakthrough in this field.

“Nature”, a weekly science magazine reported that for the first time, Polzik and his team conducted a teleportation experiment successfully, where they made two samples of trillions of atom interact at a distance, without any physical contact
