I seem to recall that the Australians had some small measure of success
back around 2002 when a team of scientists at the Australian National
University (ANU) made a beam of light disappear in one place and reappear
in another a short distance away.
Usually, when I hear the word "Teleportation" I think of Star Trek and a
human being transferred completely from one place to another by means of
atom relocation.
To teleport a human would require knowledge of the type and exact
position and movement of every atom of the person to be teleported. That
is about a hundred thousand million million million million atoms. To
send that information down today's fast data transfer systems would take
a hundred million times longer than the present age of the Universe
(which is about 15 thousand million years).
If it is ever possible, there is the question of whether destroying a
human to teleport their information to another place to rebuild them
again would constitute murder, and you might also want to discuss if
the teleported human would actually be the original person or a copy.
I think I would rather go by sea!
