Questions tagged [teleportation]
Quantum teleportation is a process by which quantum information (e.g. the exact state of an atom or photon) can be transmitted (exactly, in principle) from one location to another, with the help of classical communication and previously shared quantum entanglement between the sending and receiving location.

Is quantum teleportation fully secure (in principle)?
Suppose two parties Alice and Bob have access to as many EPR pairs as needed, with each one having a qubit of each pair. Now Alice can create a sequence of qubit states $|i_{1}\rangle, |i_{2}\rangle, |...

Quantum teleportation transmits the exact qubit even when the state $\alpha\vert 1\rangle+\beta\vert 0\rangle$ has arbitrary $\alpha,\beta$?
I saw the concept of quantum teleportation, and they say you have a pre-shared state between Alice and Bob, such as $\alpha\vert 1\rangle+\beta\vert 0\rangle$, with $\alpha=\beta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$. ...
