We introduce a generalized concept of quantum teleportation in the framework of quantum measurement and reversing operation. Our framework makes it possible to find an optimal protocol for quantum teleportation enabling a faithful transfer of unknown quantum states with maximum success probability up to the fundamental limit of the no-cloning theorem. Moreover, an optimized protocol in this generalized approach allows us to overcome noise in quantum channel beyond the reach of existing teleportation protocols without requiring extra qubit resources. Our proposed framework is applicable to multipartite quantum communications and primitive functionalities in scalable quantum architectures.

Abstract Quantum teleportation exemplifies how the transmission of quantum information starkly differs from that of classical information and serves as a key protocol for quantum communication and quantum computing. While an ideal teleportation protocol requires noiseless quantum channels to share a pure maximally entangled state, the reality is that shared entanglement is often severely degraded due to various decoherence mechanisms. Although the quantum noise induced by the decoherence is indeed a major obstacle to realizing a near-term quantum network or processor with a limited number of qubits, the methodologies considered thus far to address this issue are resource-intensive. Here, we demonstrate a protocol that allows optimal quantum teleportation via noisy quantum channels without additional qubit resources. By analyzing teleportation in the framework of generalized quantum measurement, we optimize the teleportation protocol for noisy quantum channels. In particular, we experimentally demonstrate that our protocol enables to teleport an unknown qubit even via a single copy of an entangled state under strong decoherence that would otherwise preclude any quantum operation. Our work provides a useful methodology for practically coping with decoherence with a limited number of qubits and paves the way for realizing noisy intermediate-scale quantum computing and quantum communication.
Quantum teleportation is a fundamental protocol in quantum information science, whose performance is conventionally evaluated under the assumption of ideal Bell-state measurements. In realistic implementations, however, joint measurements are often imperfect and can deviate from maximally entangled bases due to coherent errors in entangling operations. In this work, we analytically show how the entanglement of joint measurements determines teleportation performance, and we propose a strategy to overcome the limitations imposed by partially entangled joint measurements to recover the unit teleportation fidelity with a nonzero success probability. This is achieved by optimizing a reversing operation on the teleported state to compensate for the known coherent deformation of the Bell-state measurement. We then derive an exact equation revealing a quantitative relation between measurement entanglement, channel entanglement, and the success probability to realize the unit-fidelity two-qubit teleportation. We illustrate our results using elegant joint measurements and realistic coherent error models arising from imperfect entangling operations in quantum systems. Our work provides fundamental insight into the role of measurement entanglement in quantum teleportation and offers a practical framework for achieving faithful teleportation without requiring substantial modifications to existing hardware.
Quantum Information Processing (QIP) exploits the principles of quantum mechanics to perform information storage, communication, and computation in ways that are fundamentally impossible within classical frameworks. This article presents a pedagogical overview of the mathematical foundations of quantum information theory, including qubits, Hilbert spaces, linear operators, quantum measurements, tensor products, density operators, and quantum entanglement. Building upon these concepts, we provide a detailed introduction to quantum teleportation, one of the most remarkable protocols in quantum communication. The discussion covers the no cloning theorem, the original teleportation protocol by Bennett et al., experimental realisations of quantum teleportation, and extensions involving probabilistic and multiqubit teleportation schemes. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of entanglement as a communication resource, together with the study of teleportation channels based on bipartite and multipartite quantum states. Various quantitative measures of entanglement, including concurrence, negativity, entanglement of formation, and relative entropy of entanglement, are reviewed alongside teleportation fidelity as a performance metric. Furthermore, the interplay between Bell nonlocality, mixed state entanglement, and teleportation efficiency is examined, followed by a survey of advanced developments such as controlled teleportation, bidirectional teleportation, cluster state teleportation, and recent advances in the Quantum 2.0 era. This review aims to provide students, researchers, and engineers with a coherent introduction to the theoretical foundations and practical significance of quantum teleportation in emerging quantum technologies.
This paper proposes a novel quantum networking protocol leveraging quantum teleportation for rapid quantum information transfer within a network. Traditional quantum network architectures suffer from limited transmission speeds due to the requirement of physically transporting qubits. This protocol overcomes this limitation by utilizing the quantum entanglement and Bell states to facilitate instantaneous information transfer, circumventing the need for direct qubit conveyance. The core of the protocol relies on establishing and maintaining entanglement between nodes, followed by a Bell state measurement and classical communication to reconstruct the quantum state at the destination. This design offers a significantly faster method for quantum information distribution compared to conventional approaches. The theoretical framework is presented with detailed mathematical formulations of the key steps, including the Bell state measurement, the process of quantum state transfer, and the necessary classical communication protocols. This work contributes to the advancement of quantum networking technology and provides a foundation for future high-speed quantum communication systems.
Quantum teleportation, a cornerstone of quantum information science, enables the transfer of an unknown quantum state from a sender (Alice) to a receiver (Bob) using entanglement and classical communication. A fundamental principle of quantum mechanics, the no-cloning theorem, dictates that an arbitrary unknown quantum state cannot be perfectly duplicated. This paper introduces the concept of Bell-Certified Unclonable Teleportation, a novel protocol designed to intrinsically integrate the verification of entanglement quality and the preservation of unclonability within the teleportation process itself. By leveraging the unique properties of Bell states and their measurements, this protocol aims to provide a certification mechanism that assures both the successful transfer of the quantum state and the impossibility of its unauthorized replication during or after transmission. We explore how Bell state analysis, coupled with specific classical communication strategies, can serve as a robust signature for the integrity and security of the teleported state, thereby enhancing the trustworthiness of quantum communication channels. The proposed scheme offers a theoretical framework for building more secure and verifiable quantum communication primitives, addressing critical concerns in quantum cryptography and the future development of quantum networks.
Quantum teleportation as a key protocol for quantum communication and quantum computing demonstrates the stark difference between quantum and classical information transmission. An ideal teleportation protocol requires pure maximally entangled state as the teleportation channel, while in real implementations the shared entanglement is severely degraded due to decoherence. In this letter, we propose a scheme to protect the quantum teleportation from decoherence by means of environment assisted measurement with weak measurements and flip operations. We show that the teleportation fidelity of our proposed scheme is significantly improved compared to teleportation with no protection and a teleportation protocol based on quantum measurement reversal. Also, the explicit formula of average teleportation fidelity and success probability of the entanglement protection are derived.
