Quantum teleportation is a process by which quantum information(e.g the exact state of an atom or photon)can be transmitted(exactly, in principle) from one location to another, with the help of classical communication and previously shared quantum entanglement between the sending and receiving location.
All those who didn’t understand a word of what has been
written above, put your hands up!! Above stated was a paragraph copied and
pasted straight out of Wikipedia. To explain what has been written above, lets
put it this way...remember how we all watched star trek and gazed in amazement as
captain kirk and his crew constantly used their transporter to move between the
enterprise and another world, an asteroid, another spacecraft and into an exact
place in any of these locations. Or remember harry potter?! The floo powder, port-keys and apparition. This, my
friends is what teleportation really means.
It is the art, or ability (or anything you would like to call it, as it doesn’t exist in reality yet)to disappear at one place and instantly reappear at another place, a place of your own choice.
Why teleportation would be awesome is not difficult to
imagine.
1.People
would be able to transport themselves in no time to a different place at any place
in any time. Distance, would in fact become a theoretical thing. We would need
no visas and passports to travel from one country to another, free as a bird.
2. Cars, trains
and airplanes would not be needed anymore, doing mother nature the favor that
has been long due to her. Lesser pollution will solve a lot of environmental as
well as health problems.
3. If the
ability to teleport were given to me with absolutely no holds barred on its
potential ,I would definitely teleport myself to the future and first and foremost,
wait-for-it, watch the entire series of "game of thrones" and find out how it
ends because being made to wait for months for a new season of this particular
series is definitely the most torturous act of all, worse than the beheading.
4. Having satisfied myself of the future I would teleport
myself back to the past, to old England, to the era of gallant young men and
chivalry, to those wide frilled skirts and bonnets, to the age where Mr. Darcy
thrived(aahhh….drool!).i don’t think I could ever teleport myself back from
that age so that’s a dangerous gamble to play.(if it only wasn’t for the
dynamic Mr. Darcy).
5.As for the present ,I would definitely want to
teleport myself to the secret mysterious lair wherein our college exam papers
are evaluated. I wish to drench the burning thirst of a burning question in the
minds of majority of the students in India-“that person and I have written the
exact same answer, then why did he get more marks than me?”. What force of
nature is it that prompts such injustice? Teleportation could definitely help
provide an answer to all those students in agony who can do nothing except go
“why you do like this?!” *weeping internally*
6. So having made it clear that giving me the power of
teleportation would do no good to the world lets come back with what its other
general awesomeness could be. For starters, it could save you a lot of money. You
could just teleport yourself to the concert of your choice without having to
pay for it. Free events=saving money+having fun!!Cant dispute mathematics now, can
we?
7. Teleportation is more discreet than other powers like
flight. Less people find out, you don’t get mobbed by people asking for favors
and you are less likely to be captured. And even if you are, well you can
always be…*poof*..gone
10. Also, crime would fall with the ability to teleport
being placed in responsible hands and the world would become a safer place to
live in. Needless to mention the positive impact on the environment.
Teleportation if it ever comes into existence would be a
boon for mankind, at least for a while before we somehow manage to turn it into
a lethal weapon.
