Dear Bruno,
I followed the UDA link and read the post and fell flat on my face when
I read the term "classical teleportation". I would like to know what is the
theoretical basis of a belief that "classical teleportation" is even
possible? I can accept TM emulability for the sake of the argument, but the
notion of classical teleportation is something that is equivalent to
perpetual motion machines in my thinking.
Does there exist an on-line explanation of "classical teleportation"
that I could read?
Kindest regards,
PS. How far have you considered Chu transforms?
