  Teleportation of optical field states (as continuous quantum variables) is
usually described in terms of Wigner functions. This is in marked contrast to
the theoretical treatment of teleportation of qubits. In this paper we show
that by using the holomorphic representation of the canonical commutation
relations, teleportation of continuous quantum variables can be treated in
complete analogy to the case of teleportation of qubits. In order to emphasize
this analogy, short descriptions of the basic experimental schemes both for
teleportation of qubits and of continuous variables are included. We conclude
our paper with a brief discussion of the effectiveness of our description of
continuous variable teleportation and of the role of localization of quantum
states in teleportation problems.
