Abstract
It is shown that quantum teleportation and entanglement swapping can be eas ily derived from Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations and special relativit y. This raises the question of what is really teleported in a teleportation experiment. It is also shown that the behavior of two photons that arrive together at a beam splitter can be seen as a particular case of a nonlocal effect in which they arrive "together" at two different beam splitters.
