Quantum information can remain without physical body in volatile form
A deeply rooted view in classical and quantum information is that "information is physical", i.e., to store and process information, we need a physical body. Here we ask whether quantum information can remain without a physical body. We answer this question in the affirmative, i.e., we argue that quantum information can exist without a physical body in volatile form. We introduce the notion of the volatility of quantum information and show that indeed the conditions for it are naturally satisfied in the quantum teleportation protocol. We argue that even if special relativity principles are not assumed, it is possible to make quantum information volatile. We also discuss the classical limit of the phenomenon, as well as the multiparty scenario.
