How to teleport a particle (rather than a state)

Physicist Wei proposes particle teleportation

Superconductor Week, July 23, 2016. News:Physicist Wei Proposes Particle Teleportation In a recent comment (Phys. Rev. E 93, 066103 (2016)), Chinese Physicist Yuchuan Wei has suggested that particle teleportation is a new observable relativistic effect in quantum mechanics, offering a straightforward explanation for superconductivity. Using this new concept in quantum mechanics, superconductivity could be viewed as the teleportation of electrons from one side of a superconductor to another. Wei is not currently affiliated with a research institution and last worked with Wake Forest University. “Teleportation is a method of particle motion,” said Wei. “It alters our thinking on microscopic particles. “There are two equations that can result in particle teleportation, the relativistic and fractional Schrodinger equations. One can easily reach the former from the standard Schrödinger equation, by replacing classical kinetic energy with relativistic kinetic energy. “The latter was introduced in 2001, but the source term in the probability continuity equation was missed, which leads to particle teleportation. This mistake has not drawn much attention because in our world there are no particles with fractional kinetic energy.” Particle Teleportation Relevant to SC Research “The existence of particle teleportation is important to superconductivity research in general,” emphasized Wei. “Superconductivity cannot be explained before we can describe it correctly. “Few people can understand the BCS theory for LTS because of its complexity, and there exists no well-recognized HTS theory. Currently superconducting electrons are understood to pass through a Josephson junction via quantum tunneling, but an open question is how a supercurrent can flow through the non-superconducting metal in an SNS junction without dissipation. I think, the only reasonable explanation is that the electrons can teleport from one side of the junction to the other, i.e. they do not physically pass the normal metal layer in the junction.” Wei outlined some experiments that could be conducted to experimentally observe particle teleportation: “We can observe the teleportation of helium atoms in a superfluid experiment. When a superfluid flows through a capillary tube, the flow rate and velocity can be measured. If the flow rate is bigger than it should be with a certain measured velocity, there is teleportation; otherwise no teleportation exists. Scattering experiments can also be used to detect particle teleportation.”
