Part 2/13:
At its core, quantum teleportation is not about the physical relocation of objects—as popularized by science fiction—but rather the transmission of the quantum state of particles like photons and electrons across great distances. This remarkable capability hinges on a phenomenon known as quantum entanglement, which establishes a mysterious connection between particles that allows their states to be intertwined regardless of distance. When one particle is observed or manipulated, the other is affected instantaneously, forming the essential framework for quantum teleportation.
