Allow me to oversimplify for the sake of understanding:
Quantum entanglement is a process where the measurable properties of two particles become linked. For example, an entangled pair of photons might share the same polarization, so that when you measure one, you’d also learn the polarization of the other without having to measure it.
That’s quantum teleportation in a nutshell, send out an entangled pair of photons and each of the recipients will know what the other got without having to ask. They call it ‘teleportation’ because the information about who got what doesn’t exist until the photons are measured, and can’t be intercepted in transit because the act of measuring an entangled particle breaks the entanglement. You physically cannot tap or eavesdrop on a QE link, trying to do so disrupts the connection.
