Abstract
The value of recognising the status of ‘information’ as an abstract noun is illustrated by way of application to the analysis of quantum teleportation. It is argued that when one notes that ‘the information’ does not refer to a concrete particular or a sort of pseudo-substance, any puzzles thought to surround the process are quickly dispelled. The central moral is that one should not be seeking, in an information-theoretic protocol, for some particular ‘the information’, whose path one is to follow, but rather concentrating on the physical processes by which the end result of the protocol is brought about. When this is borne in mind for teleportation, it is seen that the only remaining source for dispute over the protocol is the straightforward one regarding what interpretation of quantum mechanics one wishes to adopt. How the teleportation protocol looks within a number of familiar interpretations is then described.
