Quantum teleportation

Quantum teleportation is the transfer of a quantum state between two parties without knowledge of the state to be transferred or the location of the receiver.¹

In the typical scenario, Alice wants to transfer 1 qubit of information to Bob, and the two happen to already possess an entangled pair of particles By applying operations to and her member of the entangled pair, taking appropriate measurements, and communicating the results to Bob, Bob is able to apply operations to his entangled particle to reproduce the state of faithfully. During the process the state of the original particle is destroyed, thus the No-cloning theorem is not violated.²
