Teleportation of Energy

''Still, it's a clever method, and Masahiro Hotta of Japan's Tohoku University thinks it's possible to apply that method to teleporting actual energy. The key is quantum fluctuation in the energy of a particle. The very act of measuring one particle in an entangled pair necessarily adds energy to the system, he reasons, so therefore it should be possible to carefully extract that energy when one measures the second particle, without violating energy conservation, since the energy of the system as a whole remains the same.''
