Nonlocal memory effects allow perfect teleportation with mixed states

Abstract

We show that perfect quantum teleportation can be achieved with mixed photon polarization states when nonlocal memory effects influence the dynamics of the quantum system. The protocol is carried out with a pair of photons, whose initial maximally entangled state is destroyed by local decoherence prior to teleportation. It is demonstrated that the presence of strong nonlocal memory effects, which arise from initial correlations between the environments of the photons, allow to restore perfect teleportation. We further analyze how the amount of initial correlations within the environment affects the fidelity of the protocol, and find that for a moderate amount of correlations the fidelity exceeds the one of the previously known optimal teleportation protocol without memory effects. Our results show that memory effects can be exploited in harnessing noisy quantum systems for quantum communication and that non-Markovianity is a resource for quantum information tasks.

Nonlocal memory effects allow perfect teleportation with mixed states

Elsi-Mari Laine, Heinz‐Peter Breuer, Jyrki Piilo

One of the most striking consequences of quantum physics is quantum teleportation - the possibility to transfer quantum states over arbitrary distances. Since its theoretical introduction, teleportation has been demonstrated experimentally up to the distance of 143 km. In the original proposal two parties share a maximally entangled quantum state acting as a resource for the teleportation task. If, however, the state is influenced by decoherence, perfect teleportation can no longer be accomplished. Therefore, one of the current major challenges in accomplishing teleportation over long distances is to overcome the limitations imposed by decoherence and the subsequent mixedness of the resource state. Here we show that, in the presence of nonlocal memory effects, perfect quantum teleportation can be achieved even with mixed photon polarisation states. Our results imply that memory effects can be exploited in harnessing noisy quantum systems for quantum communication and that non-Markovianity is a resource for quantum information tasks.

Nonlocal Memory Effects in the Dynamics of Open Quantum Systems

Elsi-Mari Laine, Heinz‐Peter Breuer, Jyrki Piilo +2 more

We explore the possibility to generate nonlocal dynamical maps of an open quantum system through local system-environment interactions. Employing a generic decoherence process induced by a local interaction Hamiltonian, we show that initial correlations in a composite environment can lead to nonlocal open system dynamics which exhibit strong memory effects, although the local dynamics is Markovian. In a model of two entangled photons interacting with two dephasing environments, we find a direct connection between the degree of memory effects and the amount of correlation in the initial environmental state. The results demonstrate that, contrary to conventional wisdom, enlarging an open system can change the dynamics from Markovian to non-Markovian.

Quantum teleportation, entanglement, and Bell nonlocality in correlated noisy channels

Zhan-Yun Wang, Zhi-Yong Qin

Abstract We investigate how the correlations between consecutive actions of the two-qubit noisy channels affect quantum teleportation, entanglement, and Bell nonlocality. For the initial Bell and Werner states used for teleportation, we established connections among these three quantities, and obtained the minimum correlation strengths for achieving the nonclassical teleportation fidelity, nonvanishing entanglement, and Bell-nonlocal states. It was found that these three quantities can be noticeably enhanced due to the existence of the channel correlations. By considering a colored dephasing channel, we further investigated the combined effects of the channel correlation and the (non-)Markovianity of the channel on the teleportation fidelity, entanglement, and Bell nonlocality. The result shows that while they decrease monotonically with time in the Markovian regime, their strengths can be further enhanced due to the non-Markovian memory effect in a wide time region.

Experimental investigation of local environment effects on the quantum teleportation fidelity

Laura T. Knoll, Christian Tomás Schmiegelow, M. A. Larotonda

Quantum teleportation relies on entanglement as the quantum resource to be able to communicate with fidelities beyond the classical limit. Nevertheless, the entangled resource may be afflicted by local noise, affecting its ability to serve as the entangled resource for quantum teleportation. We obtain experimental data on the influence of different local environments on the ability of an initially entangled pair of qubits to act as a teleportation resource, after it has been disturbed by noise. We generate selected conditions on the noise parameter space, both theoretically and experimentally, and we find that an already noisy protocol can be made practically insensitive to a further addition of noise. The experimental results are based on a photonic implementation of the quantum teleportation algorithm, with a polarization-entangled pair acting as the quantum resource. The state to be teleported is an additional qubit encoded in the path internal degree of freedom of Alice's photon. Interactions with different local environments on both sides of the system are either implemented with an extra qubit as the environment, or simulated as a weighed average of pure states. We compare our experimental results with the theoretical predictions, and by performing quantum process tomography we can calculate the fidelity of the quantum teleportation scheme and evaluate the effect of local environments.

Non-Markovianity as a resource for quantum correlation teleportation

Anahita Motavallibashi, Hamidreza Mohammadi, Ahmad Akhound

Quantum teleportation of the quantum correlated states via noisy channels is investigated. The noisy channels are realized by a couple of two-level atoms (qubits) embedded in a zero-temperature bosonic bath. The entanglement of the channels is provided by the interqubit interaction and/or through the memory of the environment. Especially for the case of noninteracting qubits, the resource of the teleportation can be supplied by the entangled state of the channel, which is provided by information backflow in the non-Markovian regime of the evolution. More non-Markovianity of the dynamics generates a higher amount of induced entanglement and hence enhances the quality of the quantum correlation teleportation process. When the degree of non-Markovianity of dynamics is sufficiently high, quantum teleportation, which is superior to classical communication, is achievable.

Photonic realization of nonlocal memory effects and non-Markovian quantum probes

Bi‐Heng Liu, Dong-Yang Cao, Yun‐Feng Huang +5 more

The study of open quantum systems is important for fundamental issues of quantum physics as well as for technological applications such as quantum information processing. Recent developments in this field have increased our basic understanding on how non-Markovian effects influence the dynamics of an open quantum system, paving the way to exploit memory effects for various quantum control tasks. Most often, the environment of an open system is thought to act as a sink for the system information. However, here we demonstrate experimentally that a photonic open system can exploit the information initially held by its environment. Correlations in the environmental degrees of freedom induce nonlocal memory effects where the bipartite open system displays, counterintuitively, local Markovian and global non-Markovian character. Our results also provide novel methods to protect and distribute entanglement and to experimentally quantify correlations in photonic environments.
