Nope. It stays right where it was. It's quantum state is rooned, that's all.

Nope. It stays right where it was also; it just aquires the state
that the first got rooned. I does not call that teleportation,
nor have any truck with them as does...

Okay, I understand your position.

I choose to indulge in the semantic shortcut of considering the act of
moving the quantum state from one object to another to be just as good
as moving the object which has that state. I further choose to believe
that we can disagree on this topic without either of us being
objectively wrong.

See for example http://www.its.caltech.edu/~qoptics/teleport.html

Note particularly the bits about the classical communication channel
involved in the process.

I explicitly acknowledged a classical communication channel in my first
post to this thread.
