[QUOTE="tomBitonti, post: 6660050, member: 13107"] Heh: Create a magic "entangled foam" which fits in a coffin shaped device (since a coffin is about the right size for most folks), entangle that with a similar device, then transport the second device to wherever. Then you just need to figure out how to entangle the foam on one end to yourself, and the second device to a "blank" on the other side. Press the button and bang, you have some non-sentient goo on this side and (with luck) you emerge from the blank on the far side. If we say that the full quantum copy is necessary to preserve consciousness, then we can have the blank be a copy accurate up to but not including the detailed quantum state. Lots of magic, for sure. The coffin filled with foam seems to be a person sized ensemble of quantum bits, and we are struggling to make just a half dozen. Maybe copying the state of the nervous system would be sufficient? (But, that's still huge.) Not sure if the basic mechanism is valid: Can you entangle B with C, then entangle A with B and C with D, then force the state of A to D? Applying natural language reasoning to "entangle" seems iffy. Thx! TomB [/QUOTE]
