Teleportation and time travel are definitely Science Fiction tropes! Science Fiction (by my definition) is anything that is based in a particular field of science, can be scientifically studied or created, technologies and space [as in space travel, planets, alien beings, etc.]

Fantasy usually has to do with mythological, fairy tale, or fabled beings [Vampires, Elves, Fairies, Trolls, Werewolves, etc.], Magic, and/or the Paranormal / Supernatural.
