It's the star trek
transporter version of
teleportation for quantum
mechanical systems.
No. No it isn't. It's not teleportation, because transit still occurs at non-instantaneous rates, and it is effectively slower than light speed travel when you include the overhead of the protocol.
A near-light-speed rocket ship could literally accomplish the same thing.
It is not a gateway technology that opens a portal to a destination. It clones state, and can replicate an infinite series of clones at a station, via transmission of state.
At best it could be called a matter replicator, but it is not teleportation.
