Asymptotic teleportation scheme bridging between standard and port-based teleportation

Ha Eum Kim, Kabgyun Jeong

Published Jul 10, 2024• 1 citation

Abstract

Abstract Various modified quantum teleportation schemes are proposed to overcome experimental constraints or to meet specific application requirements for quantum communication. Hence, most schemes are developed and studied with unique methodologies, each with its own inherent challenges. Our research focuses on interconnecting these schemes, which appear to be unrelated to each other, based on the idea that the unique advantages of one scheme can compensate for the limitations of another. In this paper, we introduce an asymptotic teleportation scheme that requires the receiver to complete a classical selection task before performing a quantum correction. This scheme bridges standard teleportation with port-based teleportation through the transformation of joint measurements. Specifically, we categorize and analytically investigate protocols within this scheme for qubit systems. Given that the linear optics teleportation protocol without ancilla qubits is contained in the two non-trivial groups, we provide a novel perspective on its expansion. Furthermore, we discuss the potential application of a protocol from one of these groups as a universal programmable processor and extend these protocols to higher-dimensional systems while maintaining the same properties and potential, providing the analytic form of the joint measurement and its performance. These results thereby propose new avenues for developing a quantum network in higher-dimensional systems.

Asymptotic Teleportation Scheme as a Universal Programmable Quantum Processor

Satoshi Ishizaka, Tohya Hiroshima

We consider a scheme of quantum teleportation where a receiver has multiple (N) output ports and obtains the teleported state by merely selecting one of the N ports according to the outcome of the sender's measurement. We demonstrate that such teleportation is possible by showing an explicit protocol where N pairs of maximally entangled qubits are employed. The optimal measurement performed by a sender is the square-root measurement, and a perfect teleportation fidelity is asymptotically achieved for a large N limit. Such asymptotic teleportation can be utilized as a universal programmable processor.

Quantum teleportation scheme by selecting one of multiple output ports

Satoshi Ishizaka, Tohya Hiroshima

The scheme of quantum teleportation, where Bob has multiple $(N)$ output ports and obtains the teleported state by simply selecting one of the $N$ ports, is thoroughly studied. We consider both the deterministic version and probabilistic version of the teleportation scheme aiming to teleport an unknown state of a qubit. Moreover, we consider two cases for each version: (i) the state employed for the teleportation is fixed to a maximally entangled state and (ii) the state is also optimized as well as Alice's measurement. We analytically determine the optimal protocols for all the four cases and show the corresponding optimal fidelity or optimal success probability. All these protocols can achieve the perfect teleportation in the asymptotic limit of $N\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}$. The entanglement properties of the teleportation scheme are also discussed.

Asynchronous quantum computation through port-based teleportation

Chloe Kim, Eric Chitambar, Felix Leditzky

Abstract In standard quantum teleportation, the receiver must wait for a classical message from the sender before subsequently processing the transmitted quantum information. However, in port-based teleportation (PBT), this local processing can begin before the classical message is received, thereby allowing for asynchronous quantum information processing. Motivated by resource-theoretic considerations and practical applications, we propose different communication models that progressively allow for more powerful decoding strategies while still permitting asynchronous distributed quantum computation, a salient feature of standard PBT. Specifically, we consider PBT protocols augmented by free classical processing and/or different forms of quantum pre-processing, and we investigate the maximum achievable teleportation fidelities under such operations. Our analysis focuses specifically on the PBT power of isotropic states, bipartite graph states, and symmetrized EPR states, and we compute tight bounds on the optimal teleportation fidelities for such states. We finally show that, among this hierarchy of communication models consistent with asynchronous quantum information processing, the strongest resource theory is equally as powerful as any one-way teleportation protocol for surpassing the classical teleportation threshold. Thus, a bipartite state can break the one-way classical teleportation threshold if and only if it can be done using the trivial decoding map of discarding subsystems.

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.

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.

Port-based telecloning of an unknown quantum state

Reiji Okada, Kohtaro Kato, Francesco Buscemi

Telecloning is a protocol introduced by Murao et al. [Phys. Rev. A 59, 156 (1999)] to distribute copies of an unknown quantum state to many receivers in a way that beats the trivial ``clone-and-teleport'' protocol. In the last decade, a new type of teleportation called port-based teleportation, in which the receiver can recover the state simply by looking at the correct port without having to actively perform correction operations, has been widely studied. In this paper, we consider the analog of telecloning, in which conventional teleportation is replaced by the port-based variant. To achieve this, we generalize the optimal measurement used in port-based teleportation and develop a new one that achieves port-based telecloning. Numerical results show that, in certain cases, the proposed protocol is strictly better than the trivial clone-and-teleport approach.
