If you have a question about this talk, please contact Jeremy Nicholas Butterfield. Since its discovery quantum teleportation has often been seen as a manifestation, indeed the epitome, of the very paradoxical and mysterious nature of quantum theory itself. It is commonly regarded as genuinely quantum and essentially paradoxical. Although a common approach to teleportation amongst physicists nowadays is a somewhat operational one, some researchers are making an effort to deflate the above views. An excellent example is the article by C. Timpson from which we will start our discussion. According to Timpson the paradox of information transfer taking place in teleportation is dissolved if one notices our tendency to regard information as a thing or stuff, thereby expecting that information flows via a continuo
