The problem with teleportation (…is legal methodology)

Mathias Klang @klang67

Inter Canary quantum teleportation

The easy part.

“To achieve this, we combine advanced techniques involving a frequency-uncorrelated polarization-entangled photon pair source, ultra-low-noise single-photon detectors and entanglement-assisted clock synchronization… Our experiment verifies the maturity and applicability of such technologies in real-world scenarios, in particular for future satellite-based quantum teleportation.”

age old concept

Siegfried uses a magic helmet to teleport in Wagners Ring…

We expect teleportation

Ignore time travel: can’t handle the paradoxes

Teleportation has its advantages

duplication

Property – who owns the transported?

Murder, manslaughter, suicide or euthanasia

Illegal downloading = kidnapping?

privacy & protection

human rights: right not to be teleported?

Imagine immigration & family law

Teleportation will redefine humanity: The soul in transportation

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
