Abstract

We propose an experimental method for a quantum protocol termed quantum energy teleportation (QET), which allows energy transportation to a remote location without physical carriers. Using a quantum Hall system as a realistic model, we discuss the physical significance of QET and estimate the order of energy gain using reasonable experimental parameters.

Quantum key distribution by quantum energy teleportation

Shlomi Dolev, Kazuki Ikeda, Yaron Oz

Quantum energy teleportation (QET) is a process that leverages quantum entanglement and local operations to transfer energy between two spatially separated locations without physically transporting particles or energy carriers. We construct a QET-based quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol and analyze its security and robustness to noise in both the classical and the quantum channels. We generalize the construction to an $N$-party information sharing protocol, possessing a feature that dishonest participants can be detected.

A review of applications of quantum energy teleportation: from experimental tests to thermodynamics and spacetime engineering

Boris Ragula, Eduardo Martín-Martínez

Quantum energy teleportation (QET) exploits the existence of correlations to enable remote energy transfer without the need for physical energy carriers between emitter and receiver. This paper presents a review of the thermodynamic foundations of QET and reviews its first experimental demonstration (performed using nuclear magnetic resonance), along with its implementation on publicly available superconducting quantum hardware. Additionally, we review an application of QET in the field of quantum thermodynamics as an efficient algorithmic cooling technique to cool down individual parts of interacting systems. Finally, we will review how QET can be employed to optimally generate exotic quantum states characterized by negative average stress–energy densities, offering a new operational approach to engineering such states that are promising in the context of semiclassical gravity.

Quantum energy in quantum computers: insights from quantum energy teleportation

Kazuki Ikeda

Quantum energy teleportation (QET) is a quantum feedback protocol in which local measurements, classical communication, and preexisting entanglement enable the extraction of energy at a distant site, without transporting physical energy carriers. Originally conceived as a theoretical manifestation of Maxwell’s demon, QET has developed into a versatile tool for probing quantum correlations, diagnosing phase transitions, and powering emergent quantum thermodynamic technologies. This brief review provides a pedagogical introduction to the theoretical foundations and recent developments of QET, including quantum operations, entropic and fidelity-based bounds, and resource analyses involving quantum discord. Additionally, recent experimental realizations on superconducting quantum computers are revisited.

Quantum energy teleportation without a limit of distance

Masahiro Hotta, Jiro Matsumoto, G. Yusa

Quantum energy teleportation (QET) is, from the operational viewpoint of distant protocol users, energy transportation via local operations and classical communication. QET has various links to fundamental research fields including black-hole physics, the quantum theory of Maxwell's demon, and quantum entanglement in condensed-matter physics. However, the energy that has been extracted using a previous QET protocol is limited by the distance between two protocol users; the upper bound of the energy being inversely proportional to the distance. In this paper, we prove that introducing squeezed vacuum states with local vacuum regions between the two protocol users overcomes this limitation, allowing energy teleportation over practical distances.

Timelike Quantum Energy Teleportation

Kazuki Ikeda

We establish a novel quantum protocol called Timelike Quantum Energy Teleportation (TQET) between two separated parties $A$ and $B$, designed for transporting quantum energy across spacetime. The amount of energy gained through TQET is always greater than or equal to that obtained via natural time evolution for any spin chain where $A$ and $B$ are distinguishable. This protocol uses temporal and spatial quantum correlations between agents separated by space and time. The energy supplier injects energy into the system by measuring the ground state of a many-body system that evolves over time, while the distant recipient performs a conditional operation using feedback from the supplier. When Bob acts immediately after receiving Alice's outcome, the protocol reduces to conventional QET. We present a proof-of-concept demonstration in the Ising model using quantum simulations. TQET increases energy efficiency from approximately 3\% to around 40\%, representing over a 13-fold improvement compared to QET. Furthermore, we analyzed the relationship between entanglement in time and TQET, validating the role of temporal correlations in energy activation between agents across spacetime.

Aspects of Quantum Energy Teleportation

Taisanul Haque

In this work, we explore quantum energy teleportation (QET) protocols, focusing on their behavior at finite temperatures , in ground and excited states. We analyze the role of entanglement as a resource for QET, particularly in thermal states, and compare the performance of QET across these initial states. We then introduce a method to extract ground-state energy through a protocol that employs only quantum measurements, local operations, and classical communication (LOCC), without requiring the ground state to be quantum correlated either through entanglement or quantum discord. To illustrate this, we propose a minimal model comprising two interacting qubits. These findings indicate that, in addition to the established QET framework where quantum correlation serves as a resource, it is possible to extract energy from an product ground state. This broadens the scope of QET's applicability across diverse quantum systems.
