Quantum Time Machine Lets You Travel to the Past Without Fear of Grandfather Paradox

Looking to build a time machine but nervous about the classic grandfather paradox, aka the Marty McFly conundrum, aka the idea that you might unwittingly do something that causes you to never exist in the first place?

All you need is a quantum teleportation device and a precise understanding of the idea of postselection--Flux Capacitor optional.
