Abstract

A perfect teleportation protocol requires pure maximally shared entangled states. While in reality the shared entanglement is drastically degraded due to the inevitable interaction with the noisy environment. Here, we propose a teleportation protocol to teleport an unknown qubit through amplitude damping channels with a fidelity up to one with a single copy of the entangled state. Our proposed teleportation protocol, while illustrated using the Bell and W entangled states as examples, can be utilized with any type of entangled states. In our protocol, we utilize environment-assisted measurement (EAM) during the entanglement distribution, and further modify the original teleportation protocol to apply weak measurement in the last step of teleportation. We find a balance between teleportation fidelity and success probability by varying the strength of the weak measurement. Furthermore, we investigate the protection of third-party assisted teleportation protocols, where all the qubits of the entangled state pass through the amplitude damping channel. In particular, for the third-party assisted teleportation with the W state, the decoherence of the shared entanglement can be totally suppressed by using EAM, hence no weak measurement is required to achieve an average teleportation fidelity of unity. The numerical simulation results reveal that our proposed teleportation protocol outperforms both the weak measurement based probabilistic teleportation protocol and the original teleportation protocols without protection.

Quantum gate-assisted teleportation in noisy environments: robustness and fidelity improvement

Sajede Harraz, Jiaoyang Zhang, Shuang Cong

Abstract Quantum teleportation as the key strategy for quantum communication requires pure maximally shared entangled states among quantum nodes. In practice, quantum decoherence drastically degrades the shared entanglement during entanglement distribution, which is a serious challenge for the development of quantum networks. However, most of the decoherence control strategies proposed thus far are either resource-intensive or time-consuming. To overcome this obstacle, we enable noise-resistant teleportation through a noisy channel with a limited number of qubits and without applying time-consuming weak measurements. We apply a quantum gate control unit consisting of a controlled NOT gate and a rotation gate after the original teleportation protocol is accomplished. Furthermore, we demonstrate that a teleportation fidelity of unity is attainable when environment-assisted measurement is added to the proposed teleportation protocol via quantum gates. Moreover, we present an entanglement distribution process by employing the designed quantum gate control unit followed by the deterministic standard teleportation protocol to improve teleportation fidelity by establishing improved shared entanglement. Our performance analysis indicates that the proposed teleportation schemes offer a competitive fidelity and success probability compared with the conventional schemes and a recent weak measurement-based teleportation protocol.

Perfect Quantum Teleportation in Memory Amplitude-Damping Channels Based on Preflipping and Environment-Assisted Measurement

Shiye Zhang, Sajede Harraz, Sen Kuang +1 more

Most existing quantum teleportation schemes do not consider the memory effect of noise, which is becoming increasingly serious in practical quantum communication. In this paper, we propose two quantum teleportation protocols for noisy memory channels: one based on pre-flipping (PF) and another incorporating pre-flipping with environment-assisted measurement (PF-EAM). In the PF protocol, a pre-flipping operation is applied to the entangled qubits before entanglement distribution to enhance robustness against noise. A recovery operator is then used to reverse the pre-flipping operation. In the PF-EAM protocol, environment-assisted measurement (EAM) is added to the entanglement distribution process, further improving teleportation fidelity. Since the pre-flipping operator in the two protocols is a fixed unitary operator, our protocols exclude additional parameters, which is unlike weak measurement (WM) schemes that rely on adjustable measurement strength. We derive the analytical expressions for the average fidelity and the success probability of our teleportation protocols. The results show that the pre-flipping operator in the PF protocol effectively enhances the average fidelity of quantum teleportation in a deterministic manner, while the fidelity of PF-EAM remains at constant 1, unaffected by the noise intensity in the channel. In addition, our PF-EAM achieves a higher success probability while maintaining the fidelity of 1 with respect to the existing unprotected teleportation protocol, protocol based on weak measurement and measurement reversal (WM-MR), and protocol based on quantum feed-forward control and environment-assisted measurement (QFFC-EAM) framework.

Protected Quantum Teleportation Through Noisy Channel by Weak Measurement and Environment-Assisted Measurement

Sajede Harraz, Shuang Cong, Juan Jose Nieto

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.

Weak-measurement assisted quantum teleportation fidelity enhancement under noise

Mohit Dhanik, Shraddha Sharma, Pitamber Mahanandia

This study presents an improved quantum teleportation protocol designed to enhance fidelity in noisy environments by combining weak measurements (WMs) with flip and reversal operations. In our scheme, Alice prepares a four-qubit entangled state and shares one of the entangled qubits with Bob, which serves as the quantum channel for teleporting an arbitrary single-qubit state. Since the communication channel is subject to noise, Alice performs a weak measurement on the shared qubit before transmission to reduce the impact of decoherence. Building upon existing WM-flipreversal frameworks, we propose a modified weak measurement and reversal (WMR) protocol tailored for different noises in a four-qubit entangled system. The approach applies WM and flip operations prior to transmission to enhance resilience against noise, followed by corresponding reversal operations after transmission to recover the original quantum state. We systematically compare the performance of our proposed WMR protocol with the previously proposed WM-flip-reversal method under three common noise models: amplitude damping channel (ADC), phase flip channel (PFC), and bit flip channel (BFC). Our analysis reveals that the modified WMR scheme achieves significantly higher teleportation fidelity and improved robustness, particularly in bit flip noise environments. These findings highlight the potential of optimized weak measurement strategies for developing more reliable and noise-tolerant quantum communication protocols

Enhancing quantum teleportation fidelity under decoherence via weak measurement with flips

Sajede Harraz, Shuang Cong, Juan Jose Nieto

Abstract Noiseless quantum channels are critical to share a pure maximally entangled state for performing an ideal teleportation protocol. However, in reality the shared entanglement severely degraded due to decoherence. In this paper, we propose a quantum teleportation channel protection scheme to enhance the teleportation fidelity in presence of decoherence. Before the entangled pair enters the decoherence channel, the weak measurement and flip operations are applied to transfer the qubit to a more robust state to the effects of the noise. After the decoherence channel the reversed flip operations and weak measurement reversal are applied to recover the initial state. We illustrate our protected teleportation scheme and compare it with a protocol based on weak measurement reversal. The numerical results show that the average teleportation fidelity of our proposed scheme can be significantly improved. Although the proposed entanglement protection scheme is probabilistic, after a successful entanglement transmission, we use the standard teleportation protocol which has probability one.

Optimal Asymmetric Controlled Teleportation Protocol Under Correlated and Uncorrelated Amplitude Damping Noises

Peiyao Zhang, Sen Kuang, Xiaofeng Jiang

In this paper, an optimal asymmetric controlled teleportation protocol is proposed, where a three-dimensional (3D) GHZ entangled state is utilized to teleport an arbitrary unknown two-dimensional (2D) qubit and the correlation between the two entangled qutrits caused by their continuous transmission through a noisy channel is considered. We design a high-dimensional feed-forward control operator and use weak measurement reversal instead of the unitary operations in standard teleportation to mitigate the reduction in fidelity caused by noise. We further derive the average fidelity and overall success probability of the proposed teleportation protocol, and simulate its performance under correlated amplitude damping (CAD) and amplitude damping (AD) noise channels. The simulation results show that our protocol significantly improves the average fidelity under CAD noise. In particular, under AD noise, the average fidelity remains constant at 1. Moreover, we derive the optimal overall success probability without compromising fidelity. To verify the superiority of the feed-forward control method, we also calculate and analyze the performance of an asymmetric controlled teleportation protocol using only environment-assisted measurement (EAM), and compare it with the performance of our protocol through simulation. The results demonstrate that our protocol outperforms the protocol using only EAM methods in both CAD and AD noise.
