Tight quantum teleportation without a shared reference frame

Abstract

We present a scheme for teleporting a quantum state between two parties whose local reference frames are misaligned by the action of a finite symmetry group. Unlike other proposals, our scheme requires the same amount of classical communication and entangled resources as conventional teleportation, does not reveal any reference frame information, and is robust against changes in reference frame alignment while the protocol is under way. The mathematical foundation of our scheme is a unitary error basis which is permuted up to a phase by the conjugation action of the group. We completely classify such unitary error bases for qubits, exhibit constructions in higher dimension, and provide a method for proving nonexistence in some cases.

Tight Reference Frame–Independent Quantum Teleportation

Dominic Verdon, Jamie Vicary

We give a tight scheme for teleporting a quantum state between two parties whose reference frames are misaligned by an action of a finite symmetry group. Unlike previously proposed schemes, ours requires no additional tokens or data to be passed between the participants; the same amount of classical information is transferred as for ordinary quantum teleportation, and the Hilbert space of the entangled resource is of the same size. In the terminology of Peres and Scudo, our protocol relies on classical communication of unspeakable information.

Algebraic quantum structures for reference frame-independent quantum teleportation and pseudo-telepathy

Dominic Verdon

Part I: We present two new schemes for teleportation of a quantum state between parties whose local reference frames are misaligned by the action of a compact Lie group G. These schemes require no prior alignment of reference frames and are unaffected by arbitrary changes in reference frame alignment during execution, suiting them to situations of rapid reference frame drift. Our tight scheme yields improved purity compared to standard teleportation, in some cases substantially ---including the case of qubit teleportation under arbitrary SU(2) reference frame uncertainty--- while communicating no information about either party's reference frame alignment at any time. Our perfect scheme performs perfect teleportation, but does communicate some reference frame information. The mathematical foundation of these schemes is a unitary error basis permuted up to a phase by the conjugation action of a finite subgroup of G; we completely classify such unitary error bases for qubits, exhibit constructions in higher dimension, and provide a method for proving nonexistence in some cases. Part II: Quantum pseudo-telepathy is a phenomenon whereby two non-communicating parties can use the non-signalling correlations from shared quantum entanglement to perform a task that would ordinarily be impossible without communication. Here we consider the graph isomorphism game: an instance of the game is defined by a pair of graphs, and a perfect deterministic classical strategy precisely corresponds to an isomorphism of those graphs. We call a pair of graphs for which a perfect strategy using shared entanglement (a quantum strategy) exists pseudo-telepathic, and call a quantum strategy a quantum isomorphism between the graphs. Using a deep connection between noncommutative mathematics and nonlocal games, we classify all graphs quantum isomorphic to a given graph in terms of the quantum automorphism group of the graph. This implies a construction of quantum isomorphisms from central type subgroups of the ordinary automorphism group; we give an explicit description of the resulting quantum strategy and the new graph. We consider generation of new examples of quantum contextuality from central type groups. For abelian central type groups we show that this reduces to construction of quantum solutions of a binary linear constraint system from the abelianisation of its homogeneous solution group.

Quantum teleportation with infinite reference-frame uncertainty

Dominic Verdon, Jamie Vicary

We present two schemes for quantum teleportation between parties whose local reference frames are misaligned by the action of a compact Lie group $G$. These schemes require no prior alignment of reference frames and are unaffected by arbitrary changes in reference-frame alignment during execution, suiting them to situations of rapid reference-frame drift. Our tight scheme yields improved purity compared to standard teleportation, in some cases substantially---this includes the case of qubit teleportation under arbitrary $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ reference-frame uncertainty---while communicating no information about either party's reference-frame alignment at any time. Our perfect scheme performs perfect teleportation, but does communicate some reference-frame information. The mathematical foundation of these schemes is a unitary error basis permuted up to a phase by the conjugation action of a finite subgroup of $G$.

Witnessing entanglement of remote particles with incomplete teleportation

Vahid Jannesary, Fatemeh Rezazadeh, Sadegh Raeisi +1 more

Having common reference frames or aligned coordinate systems is one of the presumptions in witnessing entanglement in a two-party state possessed by two remote parties. This assumption may fail for many reasons. With an unlimited supply of singlet states, the two parties can first align their coordinate systems and then measure any entanglement witness. In this paper, we propose an alternative method which uses the same resource for incomplete teleportation of states between the two parties, enabling them to witness the entanglement of any shared state by local measurements without the need for prior alignment of the coordinate systems. The method works for any kind of witness and in any dimension. Beyond the context of entanglement witnesses, our method works also for remote measurements of observables of particles (entangled or not) in laboratories which may have deficiency in their resources.

Teleportation transfers only speakable quantum information

Giulio Chiribella, Vittorio Giovannetti, Lorenzo Maccone +1 more

We show that a quantum clock can not be teleported without prior synchronization between sender and receiver: every protocol using a finite amount of entanglement and an arbitrary number of rounds of classical communication will necessarily introduce an error in the teleported state of the clock. Nevertheless, we show that entanglement can be used to achieve synchronization with precision higher than any classical correlation allows, and we give the optimized strategy for this task. The same results hold also for arbitrary continuous quantum reference frames, which encode general unspeakable information, information that can not be encoded into a number, but instead requires a specific physical support, such as a clock or a gyroscope, to be conveyed.

Classical and Quantum Communication without a Shared Reference Frame

Stephen D. Bartlett, Terry Rudolph, Robert W. Spekkens

We show that communication without a shared reference frame is possible using entangled states. Both classical and quantum information can be communicated with perfect fidelity without a shared reference frame at a rate that asymptotically approaches one classical bit or one encoded qubit per transmitted qubit. We present an optical scheme to communicate classical bits without a shared reference frame using entangled photon pairs and linear optical Bell state measurements.
