Teleportation Theory:
Japanese Physicist Says
Energy May be Teleported

February 3, 2010 - Physicist Masahiro Hotta at Japan's Tohoku University has disclosed a novel idea to teleport energy.  Hotta believes that strings of "entangled" particles may be stretched across space. When one particle is altered, the others must change; and, if the first particle is destroyed, then conservation of energy principles require  energy to be teleported through the entangled string. Like earlier experiments at IBM, the teleportation process does not actually require traversing the intervening space between the particles. Entanglement, where two particles share the same existence even though they can be light years apart, is a recent but accepted principle of modern physics. If one entangled particle changes state, then its counterpart must also change state simultaneously. Entanglement based teleportation has been suggested as a way to advance quantum computing and facilitate instant teleportation of information for advanced, interplanetary communications systems. Readers of Hotta's idea, featured today in MIT's Technology Review, have suggested new uses that include revolutionizing space travel by teleporting energy to space stations and other remote spacecraft.
