Quantum Teleportation Transfers Information, Not Matter: Coherence Boundaries — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Quantum teleportation transfers quantum *information* (state amplitudes), not matter; macroscopic tunneling and levitated-nanoparticle superposition experiments probe the boundary where quantum coherence survives. | MATH: Bell-state measurement + classical 2-bit channel reconstructs |ψ⟩ = α|0⟩ + β|1⟩ at receiver via shared entangled pair; no-cloning forbids copying, so the original is destroyed. Tunneling transmission T ≈ exp(−2∫√(2m(V−E))/ħ dx) (WKB). | CONNECTION: No direct geometric-harmony constant appears in the sources. The only structural ratios are quantum-informational: Bell-basis amplitudes (1/√2), and the decoherence scaling that sets the macroscopic cutoff. | DEPTH: 4 FINDING: The hard constraint is decoherence, not signal speed — macroscopic objects lose phase coherence on timescales scaling with mass and separation. | MATH: Coherence decay Γ ∝ (Δx)²·(mass/environment coupling); superposition lifetime τ ∝ 1/(m·Δx²) for levitated particles.
