Thanks much for your precis and the IBM pointer.
IBM's ad seems inspired by Clarke's "Any sufficiently
advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
The teleportation site hiply introduces the topic with
its science fiction ancestry. The site even has a link to
the "goulash" featured in the ad, so the tease is PR for
IBM's magical research explorations.
It was illuminating to read the tie of teleportation to
quantum research -- cryptograpy, communication and who
knows what else burbling in that wizard Watson lab.
Because my Lynx could not get into IBM's "quantum
cryptography," perhaps Blue is onto some Lotus-like
Q-Crypto soon to be teased in ads for cosmos-wide Net
security or surveillance-proof chips and goulash.
