>>12540141From my little experience simulating a quantum computer, the way i understand it, is you have a Quantum bit, which is either 0 or 1.
You dont know which. The thing with quantum computers is probabilities, so 1 bit is not just 1 or 0, but can be interpreted as simply the chance for it to be 1 or 0, which lets it take way more than just 2 values, because they can be probability values. like 0.25 1 and 0.75 0 or 0.1 1 and 0.9 0
Anyway, you take a classical bit, and basically say if quantum bit is 1, classical bit is 1, otherwise 0.
You cant send the quantum bit, because there can be only one, because your photon is either polarized or not. You cant take it out of your system and send it away, because then you wouldnt have it.
Anyway, basically you send a probability. When the original qbit is observed, your probabilities collapse. This collapse is the teleportation.
Its a stupid and confusing name, to call it teleportation.
In essence, if i have a box with a cat inside and you are on the other side of the planet, when i open the box and the cat is dead, the information is instantly TRUE for you too, but you still need to know it.
Thats how i understand it. Could be completely wrong. I attended two quantum seminars and this is how it makes sense to me.
