Teleportation is a form of transport, though theoretical, where matter or information changes its material framework and recreated in another place. This would mean that the matter/information has been transported to another place without moving. This is a new research area that is being undertaken to explore possibilities. There have been developments that have been undertaken in the field of teleportation. This has been done with the quest to find efficient and reliable ways of moving from one point to another one. In the past, there have been discoveries and inventions of the methods that can b e used to travel from one point to another. These inventions have required that the object that is travelling will have to use space and time to travel (Krauter, H., et al 72).
Background and need
The rationale for the current research on this issue has been in the quest to have ways of moving from one point to another one without using space and time. The research that is being put into this technology will allow loads of information about objects to be moved from place to another one. With the development and research that is done on quantum computers that would be more powerful than the current computers, the use of teleportation would be employed to network these computers. Teleportation would provide a better way of sending information. This would help in undertaking discoveries. This is because of the fact that spacecrafts will be sent to space without the need to have humans to control it. Humans will monitor the space while on earth (Yin, Juan, et al 231).
There is current research that is being undertaken and notable progress has been seen in this field. The current teleportation that is being researched is that of quantum teleportation. This is where the properties of matter are teleported to another. The current technology that has been seen in this aspect of teleporting has seen the atomic systems being teleported from points to other points. There has been the ability to teleport information from light to light from the year 2006. There has been the success of teleporting between light and gas atoms. The current success has been in the process of teleporting of information between clouds of gas atoms (Stevenson, R. M., et al 291). These are technique that has been the main point of concern for many researchers. There is one limitation to this approach. This is because the transport efficiency was low so that it could not be used to measure the efficiency of transport after the experiment. This therefore meant that it could not be used for processing information. This requires that there be efficiency in the processing of information. The use of photonic quantum is a promising (Bennett, Charles H., et al 73).
Promising teleportation approach
The teleportation approach that is promising and will need further developments in order to have success is that of quantum teleportation. This is because it is a possibility to achieve this form of teleportation. The properties of matter can be shuttled and formed in another location. This can be achieved with ease without the need to completely destroy the object. For simple particles like photons, this can be achieved by forming another particle in another place that has the same properties with the initial photon. This method is promising as technologies of cloning particles are possible with the use of technology (Olmschenk, S., et al 182).
