What is quantum teleportation?

Quantum teleportation is a process in quantum computing where the exact state of a quantum system, such as the spin or polarization of a particle, can be transmitted from one location to another, without physically transferring the particle itself. This is achieved by entangling two particles, one at the sending location and another at the receiving location, and then performing measurements on the entangled particles. The measurements at the sending location allow the state of the original particle to be encoded onto the entangled particle at the receiving location, effectively teleporting the quantum information.
