Star Trek explain this away by not using the word conversion (at least early on). They used the words "A Dirac Jump" instead. As Scotty put it (in the early books I am talking now) "a conversion would blow up the ship".

The best bet is the infinite improbability transporter. Simply sift through all the possible universes for the one in which all the molecules of your body instantaneously tunnel their way to the desired location in the proper order. No energy required, merely a small problem of programming.
