Spotted this paper by Lev Vaidman, which
seems to be interesting. (Vaidman in another
paper is trying to explain the Elitzur-Vaidman
interaction free measurement in the framework
of MWI)

Teleportation: Dream or Reality?

Since its discovery in 1993, we witness an intensive theoretical and
experimental effort centered on teleportation. Very recently it was claimed
in the press that ``quantum teleportation has been achieved in the
laboratory'' (T. Sudbery, Nature, 390, p. 551). Here, I briefly review this
research focusing on the connection to nonlocal measurements, and question
Sudbery's statement. A philosophical inquiry about the paradoxical meaning
of teleportation in the framework of the many-worlds interpretation is
added.
