Teleportation (other)

	Teleportation (other) Teleportation is the fictional or imagined process by which matter is instantaneously transferred from one place to another. Teleportation may also refer to: * Quantum teleportation, a method of transmitting quantum data Teleportation (virtualization) In the context of virtualization, where a ''guest'' simulation of an entire computer is actually merely a software virtual machine (VM) running on a ''host'' computer under a hypervisor, migration (also known as teleportation) is the process by wh ..., a method of moving a running virtual machine between two physical computers See also Teleport (other) {{disambig ...

	Teleportation Teleportation is the hypothetical transfer of matter or energy from one point to another without traversing the physical space between them. It is a common subject in science fiction literature and in other popular culture. Teleportation is often paired with time travel, being that the travelling between the two points takes an unknown period of time, sometimes being immediate. An apport is a similar phenomenon featured in parapsychology and spiritualism. There is no known physical mechanism that would allow for teleportation. Frequently appearing scientific papers and media articles with the term ''teleportation'' typically report on so-called " quantum teleportation", a scheme for information transfer which, due to the no-communication theorem, still would not allow for faster-than-light communication. Etymology The use of the term ''teleport'' to describe the hypothetical movement of material objects between one place and another without physically traversing the dis ...

	Teleportation (virtualization) In the context of virtualization, where a ''guest'' simulation of an entire computer is actually merely a software virtual machine (VM) running on a ''host'' computer under a hypervisor, migration (also known as teleportation) is the process by which a ''running'' virtual machine is moved from one physical host to another, with little or no disruption in service. Subjective effects Ideally, the process is completely transparent, resulting in no disruption of service (or downtime). In practice, there is always some minor pause in availability, though it may be low enough that only hard real-time systems are affected. Virtualization is far more frequently used with network services and user applications, and these can generally tolerate the brief delays which may be involved. The perceived impact, if any, is similar to a longer-than-usual kernel delay. Objective effects The actual process is heavily dependent on the particular virtualization package in use, but in general, the pr ...
