ABSTRACT

Through the process of quantum teleportation, a transfer of quantum information takes place from one particle to another while maintaining zero physical movement between the two. Quantum teleportation requires two entangled particles along with projective measurements followed by exchanging two bits of classical information. The process requires quantum mechanics principles which combine superposition with entanglement. Quantum entanglement occurs when two or more particles create an inseparable relationship that cuts off a separate description of an individual particle. Experimental realizations of quantum teleportation continue to operate on different physical platforms which include photons as well as atoms and superconducting circuits. Applications of Quantum teleportation includes quantum computing, secure communication, and cryptography. In future Scientists believe that a breakthrough in quantum computing technology could make teleportation a reality, including the ability to teleport a whole human. This paper provides the present research in quantum teleportation, including the theoretical framework, experimental implementations, and potential applications. We also discuss the challenges and limitations of quantum teleportation and propose future directions for research.
