I want to teleport my shoes, food, clothing, animals, human. I want to be able to travel from California to New York in 10 seconds without plane or rocket.

Two hundred years ago, when you asked people how we can fly to the moon, they all laughed. I believe most of you who replied are doing the same thing.

Just make sure not to let flies in! Jeff Goldblum learned the hard way.

I would say physics, especially quantum physics and astro physics. And mathematics (which is essential for this kind of physics anyway) including communication theory and information theory.
Even 200 years ago, the basic ideas of how to build a rocket to go to the moon were already in place, even if the people of the time didn't realize it and nobody had yet conceived of the idea. The physics was already known.
I believe we are much further away from any kind of physical teleportation. In fact I don't believe that it will ever be possible, although I am prepared to admit that I could be wrong.
Even if we could teleport *things*, I don't think we would ever teleport people. I mean - I wouldn't trust my life to it.
Would you agree to the idea of creating an exact clone of yourself, and then killing yourself and letting the clone carry on with your life? To me, that's what 'Star Trek-style teleportation involves.
The other method I see is the idea of creating some kind of 'worm-hole' that physically connects two separate points in space. I might trust to send a ping-pong ball through that, but nothing to which my own balls are attached, such as myself.
Just my opinions.

Great Question you are looking at Quantum Physics - the person you need to contact is Dr. Sam Beckett who has led an elite group of scientists to develop the top-secret project known as Quantum Leap.
Either that or Dr Emitt Brown who developed the Flux Capacitor and the 12.1 Gigawatts of power required.

Well, you need something which can create, store, then use LOTS of energy: A fusion reactor would suffice I think--closest working sustained fusion reactor we have now is on average 93,000,000 miles away i.e. the sun. [Particle Physics, with an engineering minor]
Then, you need a very, very, very capable computer with huge amounts of storage capacity and number crunching ability. Something which would make modern Cray "super-computers" look like pocket calculators. [Computer Science, with again an engineering minor]
And, lastly, you're going to need devices to transmit and receive the energy from one place to another. [Engineering]
So, you're gonna need to study up on quantum physics and computer programming and be an engineer to design and build the required systems. Good luck, and let me know when you've done it, I will invest HEAVILY into your corporation.

The college of Star Trek of course. Watch more Star Trek.

Teleportation is impossible according to the Heisenburg uncertainty principal. You're wasting your time.

Star trek has mastered the trick.
Considering what is involved man may not be around long enough to master he technology.
