Let’s Begin…

Is teleportation possible? Could a baseball transform into something like a radio wave, travel through buildings, bounce around corners, and change back into a baseball? Oddly enough, thanks to quantum mechanics, the answer might actually be yes... sort of! Sajan Saini explains.

At present, why does it seem unlikely that we’ll be able to quantum teleport humans around the world?
