teleportation device
Beam me anywhere
A teleportation device is a machine that instantaneously transports matter from one location to another without physically traversing the space between.
The concept belongs to science fiction—Star Trek's transporter being the most famous example—though physicists have achieved quantum teleportation of particles.
In fiction, teleportation devices raise questions about identity: if you're disassembled and reassembled elsewhere, are you still you?
