Quantum teleportation is discussed using the notion of active information. We show that this information has an objective meaning and it is this information that is teleported from one particle to another. This information transfer is mediated by the non-local quantum potential. Our approach suggests that there is a new quality of energy operating in the quantum domain and that this energy is non-local. This feature is shared by the gravitational energy in general relativity, a point that has been noted by Penrose who has suggested that this link should be exploited to resolve the measurement problem. ...

In general relativity energy is needed to curve spacetime but this energy cannot be localised. The argument is very simple (See Misner, Thorne and Wheeler 1970) and is as follows: - Einstein’s equivalence principle plays a pivotal role in general relativity. It says that one can always find a frame in which all local gravitational fields disappear. If there are no local gravitational fields, there can be no local gravitational energy, but this does not mean that there is no gravitational energy, it just means that it cannot be localised. ...

The similarity between the non-local gravitational energy and the non-local correlation energy involved in the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen effect has already been noted by Penrose (1996).  He has tried to make use of this common feature to provide an alternative way of solving the measurement problem.
