teleportation
Vanish, appear elsewhere
Teleportation is instantaneous travel from one location to another without crossing the space between—you vanish here and appear there.
The concept belongs to science fiction and fantasy, where characters teleport through technology or magic.
In physics, quantum teleportation refers to transferring quantum states between particles, though no matter actually moves: Researchers achieved teleportation of quantum information across twelve kilometers.
