Comment on Scientists Want to Teleport a Whole Human. A Quantum Breakthrough Could Make It Reality.
Onihikage@beehaw.org 2 weeks agoI believe current understanding is that quantum shenanigans mean you can’t truly make a perfect quantum duplicate of something without destroying the original at the same time, so what you’re describing (destroying the original after making the copy) would only be possible for imperfect duplication - e.g. manufacturing a clone and syncing its memory with the original.
