Visualizing Teleportation
Abstract
A novel way of picturing the processing of quantum information is described, allowing a direct visualization of teleportation of quantum states and providing a simple and intuitive understanding of this fascinating phenomenon. The discussion is aimed at providing physicists a method of explaining teleportation to non-scientists. The basic ideas of quantum physics are first explained in lay terms, after which these ideas are used with a graphical description, out of which teleportation arises naturally.

Comments
This is a "teaching" article aimed at making teleportation understandable to undergraduate physics majors (and possibly others). Version 2 has previous appendix moved to early sections, and more clearly states aim is to present a way physicists can explain teleportation to non-scientists
