Can matter be converted into energy and converted back into same matter there itself or beamed to a distant place and converted back into matter at that place? Has it actually been done?

In June 2002 the Ph.D. project of Dr. Warwick Bowen led by Dr. Ping Koy Lam, Prof. Hans Bachor and Dr. Timothy Ralph of the Australian National University achieved (quantum) teleportation of a laser beam. [2]

It was a successful quantum teleportation experiment involving the use of 'entangled' photons. A target photon was successfully 'scanned', its properties 'copied' onto a transition photon, and finally the photon was recreated at another location of arbitrary distance, proving in essence the theorems proposed by Einstein to explain his 'strange action at a distance'.

Scientists teleported atoms in 2004. [3]

In test zones for atomic explosions, scientists have used nuclear fission converts a little mass into a lot of energy. Also, it is likely that at least a part of that explosive energy converts itself back into matter. This goes along with Einstein's mass-energy equivalence equation E=mc^2.

The teleportation you seem to be referring to has not been done in real life by humans of this planet...

Scientists have teleported (sort of) a quark within a room however, probably the closest anyone has come to the teleportation you refer to.

alledgedly this is what happend accedentally in the philidelphia experiment. in which an entire ship was transported aprox. 1000 miles.

but as i stated before that is alledgedly. do your own recearch on this and make your own decision.

if nothing else its a realy cool story.
