The teleport paradox

in teleport •  8 years ago 

I am a scientist from Canada. I am in the process of writing a sci-fi story, where the teleport paradox is at the center. Let me briefly explain the paradox.
Assume our quantum physicists finally invent a fully functional teleport based on quantum entanglement principles (BTW, this can already be done for one photon). Now, when a person (say Anne) enters the teleport at point A to be transferred to point B, what really happens is that the person is disintegrated at point A and an exact copy (down to every single atom) is created at point B. The question is did the teleport killed Anne and created an imposter or that Anne travelled at the speed of light. If you take any of the sides, I can argue strongly against your choice and basically create a paradox. I do not want to give away those arguments, as I want to develop your sense of the matter.
Let me know which of the two makes more sense for you. Did Anne died or did she get transferred to B? Are you willing to travel with such a device?
