Teleporting physical quantities to remote locations is a remaining key challenge for quantum
information science and technology. Quantum teleportation has enabled the transfer of quantum
information, but teleportation of quantum physical quantities has not yet been realized. Here we report the realization and
observation of quantum energy teleportation on real superconducting quantum hardware. We achieve this by using several

The results are consistent with the exact solution of the theory and are improved by the mitigation of
measurement error. Quantum energy teleportation requires only local operations and classical
communication. Therefore our results provide a realistic benchmark that is fully achievable with
current quantum computing and communication technologies.
