It’s not teleportation. It’s creating an exact copy of a photon at a distance. It’s more akin to sending the blueprints to a design. The original photon is still where it was when you started. It hasn’t gone anywhere.
Um, I've never seen an immobile photon. They tend to zip around at about the speed of light, don't they?
This is how we will communicate instantaneously over vast distances in space.
They have a paired photon, that is merely changing state to match it’s other half.
This is not teleportation, because nothing travels.
It’s a mere changed state of something already there, one half in space and the other here.
That’s if I understand this properly, and as far as I understand this, this is all that could have happened.
Two computers manufactured side-by-side, with the exact same specs that have the exact same software loaded on them may boot at different speeds. Some will even load startup programs in different order etc...This is attributed to quantum state differences. They seem identical on the high level but it’s impossible to be truly identical on the atomic or quantum levels.
Is it the same with the photon in question?
