Abstract

Quantum entanglement is a fundamental resource for quantum information processing and is widely used in quantum communication, quantum computation and quantum metrology. Early research on quantum entanglement mainly focus on qubit states, but in recent years, more and more research has begun to focus on high-dimensional entangled states. Compared with qubit entangled states, higher-dimensional entangled states have a larger information capacity and the potential to realize more complex quantum applications. In this Letter, we have experimentally prepared a special high-dimensional entangled state, the so-called three-photon asymmetric maximally entangled state, which consists of two two-dimensional photons and one four-dimensional photon. Using this asymmetric maximally entangled state as a resource, we have also implemented a proof-of-principle quantum teleportation experiment, realizing the transfer of quantum information from two qubits to a single ququart. The fidelities of the quantum teleportation range from 0.79 to 0.86, which are well above both the optimal single-copy ququart state-estimation limit of 2/5 and maximal qutrit-ququart overlap of 3/4, thus confirming a genuine and nonclassical four-dimensional teleportation. The asymmetric entangled state realized here has the potential to be used as a quantum interface in future quantum networks, allowing quantum information transfer between quantum objects of different dimensions via the quantum teleportation protocol demonstrated in this work.

Experimental realization of a three-photon asymmetric maximally entangled state and its application to quantum state transfer

Quantum entanglement is crucial for quantum information processing, prominently used in quantum communication, computation, and metrology. Recent studies have shifted toward high-dimensional entangled states, offering greater information capacity and enabling more complex applications. Here, we experimentally prepared a three-photon asymmetric maximally entangled state, comprising two two-dimensional photons and one four-dimensional photon. Using this state, we conducted a proof-of-principle experiment, successfully transferring a four-dimensional quantum state from two photons to another photon with fidelities ranging from 0.78 to 0.86. These results exceed theoretical limits, demonstrating genuine four-dimensional quantum state transfer. The asymmetric entangled state demonstrated here holds promise for future quantum networks as a quantum interface facilitating information transfer across quantum systems with different dimensions.

Quantum Teleportation in High Dimensions

Yi-Han Luo, Han-Sen Zhong, Manuel Erhard +9 more

Quantum teleportation allows a "disembodied" transmission of unknown quantum states between distant quantum systems. Yet, all teleportation experiments to date were limited to a two-dimensional subspace of quantized multiple levels of the quantum systems. Here, we propose a scheme for teleportation of arbitrarily high-dimensional photonic quantum states and demonstrate an example of teleporting a qutrit. Measurements over a complete set of 12 qutrit states in mutually unbiased bases yield a teleportation fidelity of 0.75(1), which is well above both the optimal single-copy qutrit state-estimation limit of 1/2 and maximal qubit-qutrit overlap of 2/3, thus confirming a genuine and nonclassical three-dimensional teleportation. Our work will enable advanced quantum technologies in high dimensions, since teleportation plays a central role in quantum repeaters and quantum networks.

High-dimensional spatial teleportation enabled by nonlinear optics.

Bereneice Sephton, Adam Vallés, Isaac M. Nape +6 more

Quantum teleportation allows protected information exchange between distant parties, a crucial resource in future quantum networks. Using high-dimensional quantum states for teleportation offers the promise of higher information capacity channels, protection against optimal cloning machines and improved resilience to noise. However, such promising advantages are limited by the commonly used linear optical detection schemes that require ancillary photons, where the number of entangled photons grows with the dimension of the quantum state to be teleported. Here we overcome this restriction and experimentally realise the teleportation of high-dimensional states with just three photons, enabled by nonlinear optical detection. To create high-dimensional quantum states we employ photonic spatial modes and demonstrate a ten-dimensional teleportation channel, exceeding the state-of-the-art of two spatial modes for qubit teleportation and qutrit teleportation with four and five photons. Our experimental scheme is not basis dependent and easily scaled in dimension without changing its three-photon configuration, making high-dimensional teleportation practically feasible for future high-bandwidth robust quantum networks.

Experimental cross-dimensional programmable quantum gate teleportation

Yulin Chi, Haiyu Ding, Yujie Cheng +5 more

Future quantum networks require efficient quantum state and gate teleportation as key interfacing capabilities. However, many physical systems naturally host high-dimensional quantum states that cannot be seamlessly interfaced with standard qubit-based quantum systems. Two- and high-dimensional quantum systems are expected to complement each other in future quantum computing tasks, and quantum networks capable of realizing high- and cross-dimensional quantum gate teleportation are critical to unlocking this potential. In this work, we first propose a generalized high- and cross-dimensional quantum gate teleportation protocol and then experimentally verify it on a programmable silicon-photonic chip. The eight qubit–ququart cross-dimensional Bell states achieved via gate teleportation exhibit an average fidelity of 0.965±0.021, while the average process fidelities for the three teleported qubit–ququart quantum gates range from 0.893±0.007 to 0.941±0.005. The results lay the foundation for integrating high-dimensional quantum states and gates into future quantum networks.

Quantum teleportation in high dimensions with spatially structured photons

Andrew Forbes, Isaac M. Nape

Quantum teleportation allows protected information exchange between distant parties without the need for a physical link, a crucial re- source in future quantum networks. Using high-dimensional quantum states for teleportation offers the promise of higher information capacity channels, protection against optimal cloning machines and improved resilience to noise, but is limited by the commonly used linear optical detection requiring ancillary photons, where the number of entangled photons grows with the dimension to be teleported. Here we overcome this restriction with non-linear optical detection and demonstrate the teleportation of high-dimensional states with just two entangled photons as a quantum resource . Using photonic spatial modes as an example, we demonstrate a 15-dimensional teleportation channel, exceeding the state-of-the-art of three dimensions, offering a scaleable route to high-capacity quantum information transfer.

Experimental High-Dimensional Quantum Teleportation

Xiao‐Min Hu, Chao Zhang, Bi‐Heng Liu +8 more

Quantum teleportation provides a way to transmit unknown quantum states from one location to another. In the quantum world, multilevel systems which enable high-dimensional systems are more prevalent. Therefore, to completely rebuild the quantum states of a single particle remotely, one needs to teleport multilevel (high-dimensional) states. Here, we demonstrate the teleportation of high-dimensional states in a three-dimensional six-photon system. We exploit the spatial mode of a single photon as the high-dimensional system, use two auxiliary entangled photons to realize a deterministic three-dimensional Bell state measurement. The fidelity of teleportation process matrix is F=0.596±0.037. Through this process matrix, we can prove that our teleportation is both nonclassical and genuine three dimensional. Our work paves the way to rebuild complex quantum systems remotely and to construct complex quantum networks.
