A Generalized Formulation of Probabilistic Quantum Teleportation
Jianhao M. Yang
Abstract
Teleporation with partially entangled quantum channel cannot achieve unit fidelity and unit probability. We show that the conditions for faithful teleportation of a pure state or a mixed state can be described by the same general relation $\rho_{q}\rho_{m} = pI$, where $\rho_{q}$ is the reduced density matrix of the quantum channel, $\rho_{m}$ is the reduced density matrix of the measurement basis, and $p$ is the probability of faithful teleportaion. These conditions are unchanged under unitary transformation. We also prove that using a four dimensional partially entangled quantum channel, it is not possible to find a set of orthogonal measurement basis that contains more than two faithfully teleporting measurements.
