There’s just one catch: every atom in your body would be fully disassembled to the quantum level, effectively leaving your original body totally destroyed.

nope. just not possible with our current tech. im not aware of any tech that even lets you deposit an atom at a location on demand merely simulating ‘teleportation’

There was talk about teleporting a photon, but it was a mathematically possible (but technologically impossible) theory. A whole human is a pipedream.

I seem to remember researchers teleporting an atom like a decade ago. But then I never heard about it again.

Because it was nowhere to be found after the teleport.

No seriously, I remember that too, but I think it was a photon.

OK but a photon isn’t an atom.

The idea behind it is to do it at the subatomic level. And no, that’s not how the quantum locking works. I have not read the article but it’s likely by someone who doesn’t know shit about shit.
