Will we be able to transfer solid objects from place "a" to place "b" via teleporter in the future?
What do you think?

I think the possibilities of a transporter are pretty slim. How can you essentially dissolve a physical object, move the atomic components and then reassemble the object correctly? I am not able to comprehend a mechanism that could do this or anything physically allowing for it. That doesn't mean it's impossible though. It's fun to think about.

Definitely!
Scientists have performed successful teleportation on atoms. The feat was achieved by two teams of researchers working independently on the problem in the US and Austria.
The ability to transfer key properties of one particle to another without using any physical link has until now only been achieved with laser light.
Experts say being able to do the same with massive particles like atoms could lead to new superfast computers.
When physicists talk about "teleportation", they are describing the transfer of "quantum states" between separate atoms.
These would be such things as an atom's energy, motion, magnetic field and other physical properties.
And in the computers of tomorrow, this information would form the qubits (the quantum form of the digital bits 1 and 0) of data processing through the machines.
But since you are using the word 'teleporter - means for transport of matter from one location to another with an intermediate state of the matter as energy' I suppose you mean 'Beam me up Scotty'?. That is fictional and will probably remain so for a very long time to come.

Consider an easier option. Imagine that space and time are different threads that make up a single substance, like a sheet of paper. Now, if you put something on one end of a sheet of paper and fold two ends of the paper together, the object that is on one end of the paper will easily and quickly transfer to the other end of the paper. Eventually, it will be possible to "twist" space and time so that objects travel "across" space and time rather than "through" space and time. This means that you will not only be transfer an object from place A to place B but you will be able to do so with zero time loss.and zero physical degradation as the object will not be hit with moisture, heat, etc. on its way.

Scientists have been working on that problem for the past 15 years or so and have been making significant progress. But light goes around the cloaking device and the cloaked object, not through them. The main hang-up is that the cloaking device works only at a fairly narrow range of electromagnetic frequencies. Since dark matter seems to interact with ordinary matter only through the extremely weak gravitational force, there seems to be no chance that it can ever be used for cloaking.

This concept is fantasy now but real.
Advancing to technology is very complex and will take years of research in Physics, Computer Science, Biology, Mathematics, Chemistry, etc.
Your talking about taking an object apart molecule by molecule or atom by atom or mole by mole Sending these particles to another place in space and time and having them resembled particle by particle.
This is possible by were just starting this concept by do this only with electricity for now like phone wires and internet evolution.
Like the Fly.

It still amazes me that voices and pictures can come over wires. It amazes me that we're communicating on this computer. And I find it really hard for me to believe that people go into space and land on the moon etc. So I really wouldn't be surprised if ..in the far future...a solid object could be transported. The human mind amazes me all the time!!!!!!!!!!!!
EDIT...BTW...I watched "The Fly" growing up!!! lol (and I still have trouble killing flies...even tho I know it can't happen!)
EDIT...funny...last night I watched "Multiplicity" on tv...guess what movie he mentioned..."The Fly" !! lol (Told ya' we're being "watched"!!) lol

Hughes research and development has already done so! They found a way to transport water molecules from the Earth's surface to a point in orbit using a laser beam. Because it uses large amounts of power it is only feasible from one direction. The impossible has already been accomplished!

no, according to science two things cannot occupy the same space. In order to do this you would have to change the laws of physics and we all know those laws are written in stone and cannot change, lest it would render everything we know about the universe useless........... Of course its possible in the future.

like faster than light travel, teleportation is estimated to require fantastic amounts of energy. ergo. it impossible until we invent a new science/ a new cheat to make it happen.

it has already been done but they were only able to transport objects on a nano level
