      Again this isn’t really my area of expertise! It’s definitely not possible at the moment, although never say never, it may well be possible in the future, especially simple objects.
      People might be more difficult. As we currently don’t really understand how the brain works and therefore how memories are stored, we might one day be able to teleport something ‘molecule by molecule’, but how can we be sure that their memories are teleported as well!?
