Efficient Algorithms for All Port-Based Teleportation Protocols

Abstract

Port-based teleportation (PBT) is a form of quantum teleportation in which no corrective unitary is required on the part of the receiver. Two primary regimes exist—deterministic PBT in which teleportation is always successful, but is imperfect, and probabilistic PBT, in which teleportation succeeds with probability less than one, but teleportation is perfect upon a success. Two further regimes exist within each of these, in which the resource state used for the teleportation is fixed to a maximally entangled state or free to be optimized. Recent works have resolved the long-standing problem of efficiently implementing port-based teleportation, tackling the two deterministic cases for qudits. Here, we provide algorithms in all four regimes for qubits. Emphasis is placed on the practicality of these algorithms, where we give polynomial improvements in the known gate complexity for PBT, as well as an exponential improvement in the required number of ancillas (albeit in separate protocols). Our approach to the implementation of the square-root measurement in PBT can be directly generalized to other highly symmetric state ensembles. For certain families of states, such a framework yields efficient algorithms in the case in which the Petz-recovery algorithm for the square-root measurement runs in exponential time.

Minimal port-based teleportation

Sergii Strelchuk, Michał Studziński

Abstract There are two types of port-based teleportation (PBT) protocols: deterministic—when the state always arrives to the receiver but is imperfectly transmitted and probabilistic—when the state reaches the receiver intact with high probability. We introduce the minimal set of requirements that define a feasible PBT protocol and construct a simple PBT protocol that satisfies these requirements: it teleports an unknown state of a qubit with success probability p succ = 1 − N + 2 2 N + 1 and fidelity 1 − O ( 1 N ) with the resource state consisting of N maximally entangled states. This protocol is not reducible from either the deterministic or probabilistic PBT protocol. We define the corresponding efficient superdense coding protocols which transmit more classical bits with fewer maximally entangled states. Furthermore, we introduce rigorous methods for comparing and converting between different PBT protocols.

Efficient quantum circuits for port-based teleportation

Dmitry Grinko, Adam Burchardt, Māris Ozols

Port-based teleportation (PBT) is a variant of quantum teleportation that, unlike the canonical protocol by Bennett et al., does not require a correction operation on the teleported state. Since its introduction by Ishizaka and Hiroshima in 2008, no efficient implementation of PBT was known. We close this long-standing gap by building on our recent results on representations of partially transposed permutation matrix algebras and mixed quantum Schur transform. We construct efficient quantum algorithms for probabilistic and deterministic PBT protocols on $n$ ports of arbitrary local dimension, both for EPR and optimized resource states. We describe two constructions based on different encodings of the Gelfand-Tsetlin basis for $n$ qudits: a standard encoding that achieves $\widetilde{O}(n)$ time and $O(n\log(n))$ space complexity, and a Yamanouchi encoding that achieves $\widetilde{O}(n^2)$ time and $O(\log(n))$ space complexity, both for constant local dimension and target error. We also describe efficient circuits for preparing the optimal resource states.

Asymptotic Performance of Port-Based Teleportation

Matthias Christandl, Felix Leditzky, Christian Majenz +3 more

Abstract Quantum teleportation is one of the fundamental building blocks of quantum Shannon theory. While ordinary teleportation is simple and efficient, port-based teleportation (PBT) enables applications such as universal programmable quantum processors, instantaneous non-local quantum computation and attacks on position-based quantum cryptography. In this work, we determine the fundamental limit on the performance of PBT: for arbitrary fixed input dimension and a large number N of ports, the error of the optimal protocol is proportional to the inverse square of N . We prove this by deriving an achievability bound, obtained by relating the corresponding optimization problem to the lowest Dirichlet eigenvalue of the Laplacian on the ordered simplex. We also give an improved converse bound of matching order in the number of ports. In addition, we determine the leading-order asymptotics of PBT variants defined in terms of maximally entangled resource states. The proofs of these results rely on connecting recently-derived representation-theoretic formulas to random matrix theory. Along the way, we refine a convergence result for the fluctuations of the Schur–Weyl distribution by Johansson, which might be of independent interest.

A simple proof of unitary parallelization via port-based teleportation

Anurag Anshu, Quynh T. Nguyen

Port-based teleportation (PBT) is a variant of quantum teleportation that does not require corrections on the teleported state: starting with $N$ shared EPR states, Alice can teleport a qudit to Bob by performing a measurement on her system and informing Bob which of his $N$ `ports' to retrieve the state, up to infidelity decaying with $N$. Existing efficient quantum circuits of PBT rely on representation theory tools such as the Schur transform. In this note, we report an elementary efficient circuit for PBT, which has depth $\operatorname{polylog}(N,d)$. As a corollary, this gives a simple proof that all $n$-qubit unitaries can be parallelized to $\operatorname{poly}(n)$ depth, recovering a recent result due to Nehoran--Slote--Yuen and OpenAI.

Efficient multi-port teleportation schemes

Michał Studziński, Marek Mozrzymas, Piotr Kopszak +1 more

In our work we propose a generalization of the port-based teleportation scheme, allowing for transmitting more than one unknown quantum state (or a composite quantum state) in one go, where the state ends up in several ports at Bob's side. We investigate the efficiency of our scheme discussing both deterministic and probabilistic case, where the resource state is maximally entangled. It turns out that the new scheme gives better performance than the optimal PBT protocol with the respective larger dimension of the port. We exploit the same number of maximally entangled states in the resource state as in the ordinary port-based teleportation with a number of measurements scaling polynomially in the number of shared maximally entangled states. To obtain our results, i.e. explicit expressions for the performance of the new scheme, we deliver novel mathematical tools concerning representation theory of the algebra of partially transposed permutation operators, where the transposition acts on more than one subsystem.

Port-based teleportation in arbitrary dimension

Michał Studziński, Sergii Strelchuk, Marek Mozrzymas +1 more

Port-based teleportation (PBT), introduced in 2008, is a type of quantum teleportation protocol which transmits the state to the receiver without requiring any corrections on the receiver's side. Evaluating the performance of PBT was computationally intractable and previous attempts succeeded only with small systems. We study PBT protocols and fully characterize their performance for arbitrary dimensions and number of ports. We develop new mathematical tools to study the symmetries of the measurement operators that arise in these protocols and belong to the algebra of partially transposed permutation operators. First, we develop the representation theory of the mentioned algebra which provides an elegant way of understanding the properties of subsystems of a large system with general symmetries. In particular, we introduce the theory of the partially reduced irreducible representations which we use to obtain a simpler representation of the algebra of partially transposed permutation operators and thus explicitly determine the properties of any port-based teleportation scheme for fixed dimension in polynomial time.
