There’s just one catch: every atom in your body would be fully disassembled to the quantum level, effectively leaving your original body totally destroyed.

Replicators first, please.
talk about running before youre even freakin conceived. we cant ‘teleport’ a single molecule
Can teleport anything? An atom, perhaps?
nope. just not possible with our current tech. im not aware of any tech that even lets you deposit an atom at a location on demand merely simulating ‘teleportation’
There was talk about teleporting a photon, but it was a mathematically possible (but technologically impossible) theory. A whole human is a pipedream.
Even if they manage this, I’ll bet “you” die each time something 'effectively … destroy[s]" you down to a quantum level.
That depends on the nature of what “you” ultimately turn out to be. I tend to suspect (though with only a suspicion to go on and not proof, I probably wouldn’t be volunteering) that what “you” ultimately are is the pattern of information stored in the structure of your brain, and thus, any sufficiently perfect copy of that information is the “same” person regardless of continuity of the body. Though creating a second copy before destroying the original would have the caveat that as soon as the second you exists, the different perspective and experience will lead them to diverge into two different people who both have equal claim to the original identity, so that I think to do this, you’d want to destroy the original slightly before, making the process more like resurrection in a new location.
There really should be a way around that part of things, maybe if the distance is short enough you could move particles instead of recreating them
