 I believe in one-way time machines: Just hustle.
I believe in synthesizing gold: Get a neutron generator and
neutron-activate
a few kg, er ... a few nuclei of Hg.  Mostly, though, you'll just change
the
isotopic ratios of Hg.

Like almost everybody else, you think way too 'materialistic'.
I suggest: stop thinking about material objects like particles, but think about structures.
In my view timelike stable structures are what we call 'matter'.
If you want to make matter diappear, you simply need to compromise stability and then matter would 'roll away'.
This is way more easy than you think:
you would need to find specific resonance frequencies of your material object, modulate those upon a carrier wave and send a beam upon you object. Then you need to change the frequency a little.
This would 'derail' stability and matter would disintegrate.
The opposite could be possible, too, and you could create matter out of nothing, by specially designed waves.
Fortunately I have absolutely no idea, what the frequencies are and how you could actually create these waves, but wanted to mention the possibility to create matter out of nothing by e.g. pulsed micro-waves.
This is actually observed occasionally in a rare phenomenon called 'magic dust', where dust apears in unlikely places out of nowhere.
