In fact, physicists have already teleported atoms, “Not to be confused with Star Trek's fictional "beaming up" of people, quantum teleportation involves the transfer, or remote reconstruction, of information encoded in quantum states of matter or light. Teleportation is useful in both quantum communications and quantum computing, which offer prospects for novel capabilities such as unbreakable encryption and advanced code-breaking, respectively.” (Physicists Break Distance Record for Quantum Teleportation.) They did this through quantum coupling. This is a phenomena that still baffles those who study it. This is when two or more electrons are connected by an unknown force that allows them to communicate over great distances. If two electrons that are entangled were separated and put on two different sides of a galaxy, then they would be able to communicate and tell each other what spin to assume.
