The background is called the limits of uncertainy under QM.
A full discussion was published for New Scientist Magazine here is the copy (

The uncertainty principle also applies to other pairs of quantities such as energy and time, and the spins and polarisations of particles in various directions. The energy-time uncertainty relation is the reason why quantum particles can pop out of nothingness and disappear again. As long as the energy, ΔE, they borrow to do that and the time, Δt, for which they hang around don't bust the uncertainty bound, the fuzzy logic of quantum mechanics remains satisfied.
It is for that reason we say with certainy that there are limits to what you can do with Quantum Information.
An attempt to delete quantum information it will change time as seen by the delayed-choice quantum eraser or it will change space position as seen by entanglement energy transportation.
Hence we say with certainty Quantum Information can not be created nor destroyed only changed from one form to another within our physical world.
Does this law sound familar .. a variant goes by the name of the 1st law of thermodynamics?
Perhaps you need us to demonstrate a Quantum Bomb to make you believe as Einstein had to for E=MC2 to be accepted :-)
Hey we have made a start its called a bose-nova (

I always loved Weiman's comment
The 'missing' atoms are almost certainly still around in some form, but just not in a form that we can detect them in our current experiment,"
Hey we blew them to another time or another location but there around somewhere we just don't know where :-)
So yes Quantum Information can really blow you up!!!!!
