Abstract

We investigate the effect of common bath decoherence on the qubits of Alice in the usual teleportation protocol. The system bath interaction is studied under the central spin model, where the qubits are coupled to the bath spins through isotropic Heisenberg interaction. We have given a more generalized representation of the protocol in terms of density matrices and calculated the average fidelity of the teleported state for different Bell state measurements performed by Alice. The common bath interaction differentiates the outcome of various Bell state measurements made by Alice. There will be a high fidelity teleportation for a singlet measurement made by Alice when both the qubits of Alice interact either ferromagnetically or antiferromagnetically with bath. In contrast if one of Alice's qubits interacts ferromagnetically and the other antiferromagnetically then measurement of Bell states belonging to the triplet sector will give better fidelity. We have also evaluated the average fidelity when Alice prefers nonmaximally entangled states as her basis for measurement.

Dephasing effects on quantum correlations and teleportation in presence of state dependent bath

Mehboob Rashid, Muzaffar Qadir Lone, Prince Ahmad Ganai

Quantum information protocols are often designed in the ideal situation with no decoherence. However, in real setup, these protocols are subject to the decoherence and thus reducing fidelity of the measurement outcome. In this work, we analyze the effect of state-dependent bath on the quantum correlations and the fidelity of a single qubit teleportation. We model our system-bath interaction as qubits interacting with a common bath of bosons, and the state dependence of the bath is generated through a projective measurement on the joint state in thermal equilibrium. The analytic expressions for the time evolution of entanglement, discord and average fidelity of quantum teleportation are calculated. It is shown that due to the presence of initial system-bath correlations, the system maintains quantum correlations for long times. Furthermore, due to the presence of finite long-time entanglement of the quantum channel, the average fidelity is shown to be higher than its classical value.

Transfer and teleportation of system-environment entanglement

Tytus Harlender, Katarzyna Roszak

We study bidirectional teleportation while explicitly taking into account a mixed environment. This environment initially causes pure dephasing decoherence of the Bell state which assists teleportation. We find that when teleportation is performed in one direction it is accompanied by a transfer of correlations into the teleported qubit state. In the other direction, if no new decoherence process occurs then not only the state of the qubit, but also its correlations with the environment are teleported with unit fidelity. These processes do not depend on the measurement outcome during teleportation and do not differentiate between classical and quantum decoherence. If, on the other hand, the second teleportation step is preceded by decoherence of the Bell state then the situation is much more complicated. Teleportation and transfer of correlations occur simultaneously, yielding different teleported qubit-environment states for different measurement outcomes. These states can differ in the degree of coherence of the teleported qubit, but only for an entangling Bell-state-environment interaction in the first step can they have different amounts of qubit-environment entanglement. In the extreme case, one of the teleported qubit states can be entangled with the environment while the other is separable.

Teleportation as a measure of entanglement for an arbitrary state of two qubits

J. Grondalski, Daniel F. V. James

Summary form only given. Characterizing the entanglement of a general bipartite quantum system is a difficult problem. Most measures involve difficult extremizations and their physical motivation is not always clear. In this paper we propose an experimental measure of entanglement based on a modified version of the familiar teleportation protocol of Bennett et al. (1993). Briefly, teleportation traditionally involves two parties, Alice and Bob. Initially, Alice has a qubit in an unknown quantum state which she would like to communicate to Bob and Bob has two qubits in an entangled Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) pair. To accomplish this transfer, Bob shares one qubit of his EPR pair with Alice. She then performs a joint measurement or Bell measurement on her two qubits and relays this information back to Bob over a classical channel. Bob then uses the outcome of Alice's Bell measurement to transform his qubit, with a local unitary transformation, into the original quantum state, always with a fidelity of one.

HEAT-BATH-INDUCED DECAY OF TELEPORTATION FIDELITY OF THE X-STATES

MENG QIN, Xuan Chen, CUI-CUI LIU

Quantum entanglement and teleportation of two qubit X-states subject to heat bath is investigated by partial teleportation protocol. We obtain the analytical expressions of the average fidelity for the X-states with one-side decoherence and two-side decoherence. The quality of quantum teleportation with various initial states is investigated by explicitly calculating the concurrence, the output concurrence and the average fidelity. The results demonstrate that the model is suitable for teleportation, which depends on the initial state. However, the mean thermal occupation number of bath and decoherence could induce the decrease of the output entanglement and the average fidelity in the quantum teleportation processing. We also find the quantum teleportation protocol of one-side decoherence is more robust than that of under two-side decoherence.

Noise effect on fidelity of two-qubit teleportation

Xueyuan Hu, Ying Gu, Qihuang Gong +1 more

We investigate the effect of noise on a class of four-qubit entangled channels for two-qubit teleportation from Alice to Bob. These entangled channels include both parallel Bell pairs and inseparable channels with genuine multipartite entanglement. For the situation where only Bob's share of the entangled channel is subject to decoherence, we show by deriving a general expression for the teleported state that teleportation using noisy inseparable channels is equivalent to teleportation using noisy Bell pairs. When Alice's qubits are also subject to noise, we find that the inseparable channels never give a higher teleportation fidelity than Bell pairs, even in the presence of collective noise. Our results can shed some light on practical two-qubit teleportation.

Measurement-Based Teleportation along Quantum Spin Chains

John Paul Barjaktarevič, Ross H. McKenzie, Jon Links +1 more

We examine the teleportation of an unknown spin-1/2 quantum state along a quantum spin chain with an even number of sites. Our protocol, using a sequence of Bell measurements, may be viewed as an iterated version of the 2-qubit protocol of C. H. Bennett et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 70, 1895 (1993)]. A decomposition of the Hilbert space of the spin chain into 4 vector spaces, called Bell subspaces, is given. It is established that any state from a Bell subspace may be used as a channel to perform unit fidelity teleportation. The space of all spin-0 many-body states, which includes the ground states of many known antiferromagnetic systems, belongs to a common Bell subspace. A channel-dependent teleportation parameter [symbol: see text] is introduced, and a bound on the teleportation fidelity is given in terms of [symbol: see text].
