The major point is, the universe is so extremely complex, that we are just getting a mental hold on a tiny part of what is really going on. In order to make a transporter like in Star Trek, we will need thousands of times as much information, and thousands of times as much control.
NASA scientists achieve long-distance 'quantum teleportation' over 27 miles for the first time – paving the way for unhackable networks that transfer data faster than the speed of light* Scientists built a 27-mile long prototype quantum internet in the US
* They successfully used quantum entanglement to teleport signals instantly
* The phenomenon sees qubits, the quantum equivalent of computer bits, pair up and respond instantly

Scientists have demonstrated long-distance 'quantum teleportation' – the instant transfer of units of quantum information known as qubits – for the first time.
The qubits were transferred faster than the speed of light over a distance of 27 miles, laying the foundations for a quantum internet service, which could one day revolutionise computing.
Quantum communication systems are faster and more secure than regular networks because they use photons rather than computer code, which can be hacked.
