"A cranky transporter's a mighty finicky piece of machinery to be gambling your life on, sir."
– Montgomery Scott, to James T. Kirk, 2267 ("The Doomsday Machine")
The transporter was a type of teleportation machine, or simply teleporter. It was a subspace device capable of almost instantaneously transporting an object from one location to another, by using matter-energy conversion to transform matter into energy, then beam it to or from a chamber, where it was reconverted back or materialize into its original pattern. (TOS: "The Squire of Gothos", "The Savage Curtain"; PRO: "First Con-tact")
Alternate names for the transporter included matter stream converter, energy-matter scrambler, or transporting device. (TOS: "The Savage Curtain", "The Empath"; ENT: "Broken Bow", "Vanishing Point"; TNG: "Ship In A Bottle"; VOY: "Ex Post Facto"; SNW: "The Broken Circle") The Organians referred to Klingon transporters as material transmission units. (TOS: "Errand of Mercy") The Ferengi referred to theirs as a matter-energy device. (TNG: "The Last Outpost") Spock determined that the device used by the Vians that beamed himself, Leonard McCoy, and James T. Kirk to an underground location on the planet Minara II, was what he described as a matter-energy scrambler. (TOS: "The Empath")
Someone who was transported by a transporter beam was known as a transportee. (TOS: "Day of the Dove")
“[I] said to Bill and Leonard before a take where we beam up, I said, ‘Where should I be playing here? I mean, what does it feel like to beam up?’ And they said, ‘It tingles.’”
20th century
The Vulcans had teleporter technology since at least as early as the late 20th century. This might have been an early version of the standard transporters that were later used in the Federation. (PIC: "Mercy")
21st century
Circa 2069, the planet Terra 10 was colonized by a group of Humans from Earth. They were considered a lost colony as they had lost communication contact with United Earth until the 23rd century, when they were re-discovered by the crew of the USS Enterprise. During this period, the Terratins either retained prior knowledge of transporter technologies or developed their own. It might have predated development of the technology on Earth. (TAS: "The Terratin Incident")
22nd century
Although transporters had been used by many civilizations throughout history, the first transporter to be made on Earth was invented sometime prior to 2121, originated by Emory Erickson, who was revered as the "Father of the Transporter". The first operable transporter was developed around 2124. Erickson later recalled his experience as the first person to go through a transporter, which he was terrified to attempt. According to Erickson, "that original transporter took a full minute and a half to cycle through. Felt like a year. You could actually feel yourself being taken apart and put back together. When I materialized, first thing I did was lose my lunch. Second thing I did was get stone drunk." Years later, Erickson lamented that "during the initial tests for the transporter, some brave men and women were lost," adding, "not a day goes by that I don't think about them." Though his vision was a success, he could never recapture his past glory, as his follow up efforts with sub-quantum teleportation were never realized, an effort that ultimately led to the loss of his son, Quinn. (ENT: "Daedalus") In an illusion created during Hoshi Sato's eight seconds in the pattern buffer, her mind created a fictional story of a man named Cyrus Ramsey. In this apparent ghost story, as told through an illusion of Trip Tucker, an event occurred in Madison, Wisconsin in May 2146, where "Ramsey was a test subject for the first long-range transport. Just one hundred meters. Something went wrong with the pattern buffer. He never rematerialized." Malcolm Reed, who couldn't believe that Sato had never heard the story before, since one could not "go on a survival overnight without hearing a story about someone seeing Ramsey's molecules rematerializing on a foggy night." (ENT: "Vanishing Point") Early Starfleet efforts in the application of transporter technology were similar to 24th century transporters used by the Ligonians, but Ligonian transporters used the Heglenian shift method to convert matter and energy. (TNG: "Code of Honor") NX-01 was one of the first Starfleet starships to be equipped with a transporter authorized for transporting biological objects. Initially, however, it was utilized only sparingly, due to a general distrust of the technology held by Enterprise crew members. (The captain himself refused to put his dog through the system.) Its use became much more common during Enterprise's search of the Delphic Expanse. (ENT: "Broken Bow", "Strange New World", "The Andorian Incident", "Fortunate Son", "Hatchery"; "Countdown", et al.) These early transporters were not very reliable, and, even after Enterprise's mission, most were authorized for non-biological transports only. Even when transporter use became commonplace, most Humans and other races at a similar stage of technological development preferred traditional methods of travel. (ENT: "Strange New World", "The Andorian Incident", "Daedalus") As Starfleet continued its exploration of space, dependence on transporters grew significantly. Transporters could simplify away missions considerably by eliminating the need for a shuttlecraft. In case of emergencies (medical or otherwise), the time saved could mean the difference between life or death. (ENT: "Strange New World") Before 2164, on at least Freedom-class starships, the transporters were only meant for cargo and not organic matter. However, they could be modified to transport organic matter with some risk. (Star Trek Beyond)
In general, a transporter chief was responsible for the operational readiness, maintenance and repair of a ship or station's transporter systems
A typical transport sequence, generally initiated by the request to "energize", began from the transporter console with transporter pre-sequencing that, once complete, transporter coordinates were established on the object or destination by the targeting scanners, which thereafter a transporter lock was made. (VOY: "Jetrel", "Initiations", "Twisted")
Simultaneously, the object was broken down into a stream of subatomic particles, also called the matter stream. (TNG: "Datalore") The transporter signal was then transferred to the pattern buffer, then again transferring to the emitter array. (VOY: "Eye of the Needle", "Twisted") The matter stream was then transmitted to its destination across a subspace domain. (TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II") When used, a transporter left residual ionization in the air. (TNG: "The High Ground")
Of this whole process, one did not feel a thing. (TNG: "The Dauphin")
(Star Trek)
Star Trek.
Almost all Starfleet facilities and starships were equipped with at least one transporter device. The number of transporter devices differed; for example, most shuttlecraft had one transporter while Galaxy-class starships had twenty. (TNG: "11001001")
On ships where cargo bays were present, cargo transporters could often be found, as well.

Shields
In general, transporters could not be used while the deflector shield of a ship was active, or a deflector shield was in place over the destination. However, it was possible to take advantage of EM "windows" that were created by the normal rotation of shield frequencies. During these periods, a hole opened, through which a transporter beam could pass. To use this window, timing needed to be absolute and usually required substantial computer assistance. This technique was theorized and first practiced in 2367, by USS Enterprise-D transporter chief Miles O'Brien. He happened to know the shields of the USS Phoenix well, including the timing. (TNG: "The Wounded") Magnetic shields could also be used to prevent beaming. Rura Penthe was protected by such a shield to prevent prisoners from escaping. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) There was a type of shielding that allowed transport, although it had the limitation of not allowing phasers to be fired through it. (TOS: "A Taste of Armageddon") The limitation of transporters versus shields was not universal, however. The Aldeans were able to pass through their own shielding using transporters, though the shielding was impenetrable to other forms of technology and weapons. Similarly, both the Borg and Dominion used transporter technology that was able to penetrate standard Federation shielding. Some adaptations, including rotating shield frequencies, could inhibit this ability but not eliminate it altogether. (TNG: "Q Who"; DS9: "The Jem'Hadar") Voth were able to beam entire starships into a single Voth city ship, despite its shield being raised and running at full capacity. (VOY: "Distant Origin")
Automatic return
As of 2269, transporters could be set to automatically beam back an individual after a prearranged amount of time. In 2269, James T. Kirk asked Montgomery Scott to set automatic return for ten minutes. (TAS: "The Terratin Incident")
Disabling active weapons
By the 24th century, the transporter had the capability to disable any active weapon during transport. This could be accomplished by removing the discharged energy from the transporter signal, or by "deactivating" the weapon itself. The transporter system included weapons deactivation subroutines to control the process. (TNG: "The Most Toys", "The Hunted", "Rascals") The transporter was also capable of removing weapons entirely during transport, a setting referred to by Starfleet as "Transport Protocol Five". When the Defiant beamed aboard survivors from a damaged Jem'Hadar ship, the transporter was programmed to remove the crew's disruptors and other weapons. (DS9: "To the Death")
Falsifying disintegration by a phaser
Although transports usually took several seconds to complete, it was possible to transport an individual to safety a split-second before they were to be struck by a phaser beam, making it appear as though they had been disintegrated. By 2373, Section 31 had access to such technology and used it to fake the death of operative Luther Sloan in front of the Romulan Continuing Committee. Since William Ross later told Julian Bashir that Tal Shiar chief Koval had fired a phaser at Sloan, rather than a disruptor pistol, it is likely the weapon had been specially modified and was integral to creating the illusion. (DS9: "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges")
Background information Apocrypha
In The Worlds of the Federation (p. 16), the first transporting of a Human is said to have taken place in the transporter room of the USS Moscow. A partial explanation for the difference between transporters between Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation is provided in the Pocket TNG novel Dark Mirror, where the Enterprise-D encounters a mirror universe where the Terran Empire continues into the 24th century; when discussing the original crossover, Chief Miles O'Brien notes that transporters in Kirk's era were essentially more powerful, but a lot less sophisticated, with people lacking knowledge of how some spatial anomalies would affect the system even if its sheer power tended to compensate for those shortcomings. In the novel adaptation of "Broken Bow", it is said that, before the verb of "beam" had been accepted for describing the process of transporting, Starfleet had considered the words "scramble", "heat," "disassemble," and "spear," although "beam" had been considered the least frightening term. In the short story "Our Million-Year Mission" from the anthology book Strange New Worlds VI, the transporter had been replaced by a more advanced system known as the blinkporter that was capable of instantaneously transporting a person to any temporal or spatial destination by the year 1,012,260. An additional piece of transporter technology was developed in the alternate reality. Known as the "engineering transport tool (β)", or ETT, it consisted of a rifle that could tag objects or individuals and transport them short distances. In the 2013 video game Star Trek, James T. Kirk and Spock use this tool to bypass areas of the Frontier starbase that have been damaged by the Gorn's attack.
