’Beam me up Scotty’ : Indian technocrats move one step forward towards implementing teleportation of matter

Indian scientists and technocrats are working on quantum and linear transportation for along time in various parts of the country. According to sources a team of engineers and physicists have made a leap forward towards achieving real world teleportation.
The technology exists in the science fiction books and was highlighted by the Startrek series to transport astronauts from planets to space chip and vice versa.
The technology has a lot of implications. Teleportation can instantaneously transport matter and human beings from
physical place to another.
Some scientists in the world have developed methods for computational quantum teleportation. What that means is to transfer data on quantum characteristic of matter and then recreating the atoms and molecules on the other end. This kind of technology cannot be used in teleporting humans because the original has to be destroyed and recreating billions of atom and molecules of human bodies is a very complex task.
But based on information obtained, the group of engineers and scientists in India used laser beams to disintegrate matter at one place, analyze the matter through complex computational algorithms, transport the quantum characteristics to the other side and finally recreate the object on the other side based computational models of quantum characteristics.
According to some experts when teleporting is established in coming years, these methods will be characterized as primitive methods but every one has to start somewhere.
The biggest challenge, says Dr. Satish Mishra, was to create the computational algorithm generator that can model the quantum physics of a matter. The
algorithm itself is super complex. Now imagine the algorithm that generates the complex algorithm – how complex can that be!
