I'm sure you'd be leery of the ethic questions of the idea. Then, you would have to teleport not just the states of a few atoms, but the states of all the atoms in a human body, which is about 7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 give or take a few. If you can teleport a million atoms per second it would take a hundred trillion years. So it is a big job that something like super AI or quantum computing is not likely to solve anytime soon.




Make sure there isn't a fly in the teleportation chamber.
That's why I wrote
" it will take decades before it will be possible, if it ever will be, that's another question"

If not humans or other living things, then dead things
