Remote implementation of hidden or partially unknown quantum operators using optimal resources: a generalized view

Abstract

Abstract Two protocols are proposed for two closely linked but different variants of remote implementation of quantum operators of specific forms The first protocol is designed for the remote implementation of the single qubit hidden quantum operator, whereas the second one is designed for the remote implementation of the partially unknown single qubit quantum operator. In both cases two-qubit maximally entangled state, which is entangled in the spatial degree of freedom is used. The quantum resources used here are optimal and easy to realize and maintain in comparison to the multi-partite or multi-mode entangled states used in earlier works. The impact of photon loss due to interaction with the environment is analyzed for both the schemes. The proposed protocols are also generalized to their controlled, bidirectional, cyclic, controlled cyclic, and controlled bidirectional versions and it is shown that either Bell state alone or products of Bell states will be sufficient to perform these tasks with some additional classical communications in the controlled cases only. This is in sharp contrast to the earlier proposals that require large entangled states. In addition, it’s noted that remote implementation of hidden or partially unknown operators involving multiple controllers and/or multiple players who jointly apply the desired operator(s) would require quantum channels more complex than the Bell states and their products. Explicit forms of such quantum channels are also provided.

Bidirectional protocol involving remote implementation of hidden and partially unknown quantum operators: hierarchically controlled, controlled and without controlled

Plaban Saha, Binayak Samadder Choudhury

Abstract In this paper, we developed three protocols for the execution of the same tasks between two parties which are implementation of hidden and partially unknown quantum operators. These three protocols are respectively hierarchically controlled, controlled without hierarchy and without any controller. Our finding is that they require entangled resources with monotonically less number of involved qubits. Particularly when there is no controller, the requirement is only of one 3-qubit GHZ state for the implementation of our task.

Controlled bidirectional remote implementations of partially unknown quantum operations

Miao Liu, Nueraminaimu Maihemuti, Peng Jia-yin

Abstract By blending the ideas of controlled teleportation, bidirectional teleportation and remote implementation of quantum operations, we investigate the bidirectional transmission of quantum operations under the control of one supervisor. Firstly, we provide a method for generating a class of multi-particle entangled states, including five-particle and seven-particle entangled states, using a nine-particle entangled state as an example. Then using our constructed five-particle entangled state as a quantum channel, we propose a new controlled bidirectional protocol for remotely implementing partially known quantum operations (PUQOs for short) of one qubit within the two restricted sets satisfying specific conditions. Subsequently, exploiting a nine-particle entangled state as the quantum channel, we extend it to the case of two-qubit quantum operations which come from eight restricted sets. Replacing two PUQO of two qubits by a PUQO of one qubit and a PUQO of two qubits, we put forward another new asymmetric controlled bidirectional protocol for remotely implementing PKQOs via a seven-particle entangled state as the quantum channel. In these protocols, by using universal recovered operations performed by the receivers, the senders can simultaneously exchange their PUQOs as long as the controller collaborates, where each PUQO acts on the corresponding unknown state owned by the remote recipient.

Remote implementation of partially unknown operations and its entanglement costs

Shu-Hui Luo, An Min Wang

We present the generalized version of Wang's protocol[A.M.Wang, Phys.Rev.A 74,032317 (2006)] for the remote implementation(sometimes referred to as quantum remote control) of partially unknown quantum operations. The protocol only requires no more than half of the entanglements used in Bidirectional Quantum State Teleportation. We also propose a protocol for another form of quantum remote control. It can remotely implement a unitary operation which is a combination of the projective representations of a group. Moreover, we prove that the Schmidt rank of the entanglements cannot not be less than the number of controlled parameters of the operations, which for the first time gives a lower bound on entanglement costs in remote implementation of quantum operations.

Quantum Remote Implementation of Hybrid Operations on Hyperstates Using Hyperentangled States

Satish Kumar, Anirban Pathak

Quantum remote control, also known as quantum remote implementation of an operator (QRIO), enables the remote manipulation of an arbitrary quantum state by implementing a desired quantum operation at a distant location. Significant progress has recently been made in developing QRIO protocols and their variants. Most existing schemes employ hyperentangled states where entanglement is shared across multiple degrees of freedom (DOFs). However, these protocols typically exploit only one degree of freedom at a time. In this work, we propose a QRIO protocol that simultaneously utilizes the polarization and spatial DOFs of a two-qubit hyperentangled state to remotely implement an arbitrary hybrid operator on an unknown single-photon two-qubit hyperstate. The shared hyperentangled resource is realized using the polarization and spatial modes of photons, while the protocol is constructed using linear optical elements and cross-Kerr nonlinear interactions to facilitate effective photon-photon coupling. Furthermore, the effects of measurement errors arising from finite coherent state distinguishability and coherent state dissipation are analyzed and the corresponding success probability of the protocol is evaluated. The results demonstrate that an appropriate choice of the cross-Kerr phase shift and coherent state amplitude significantly enhances the protocol performance, making the proposed scheme a promising candidate for hybrid quantum communication and distributed quantum information processing.

Design and Experimental Realization of Various Protocols for Secure Quantum Computation and Communication

Satish Kumar

A set of new schemes for quantum computation and communication have been either designed or experimentally realized using optimal quantum resources. A multi-output quantum teleportation scheme, where a sender (Alice) teleports an m and m+1-qubit GHZ-like unknown state to a receiver (Bob), has been demonstrated using two copies of the Bell state instead of a five-qubit cluster state and implemented on IBM's quantum computer for the m=1 case. Another scheme, known as quantum broadcasting where a known state is sent to two spatially separated parties (Bob and Charlie) has also been realized using two Bell states. It is shown that existing quantum broadcasting schemes can be reduced to multiparty remote state preparation. After achieving teleportation of unknown and known states, sending a quantum operator becomes the next step. A scheme for remote implementation of operators (RIO), specifically a controlled joint-RIO (CJRIO), has been proposed using a four-qubit hyper-entangled state involving spatial and polarization degrees of freedom. In this direction, two more variants, remote implementation of hidden and partially unknown operators (RIHO and RIPUO) have also been proposed. Their success probabilities are analyzed considering dissipation of an auxiliary coherent state interacting with the environment. For secure multiparty tasks like quantum voting or auction, secure multiparty quantum computation (SMQC) becomes essential. A quantum anonymous voting (QAV) scheme has been experimentally implemented on IBM's quantum computer. Finally, two quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols, coherent one-way (COW) and differential phase shift (DPS), are experimentally demonstrated and the key rates are analyzed as functions of post-processing parameters and detector dead times across various distances.

Multi-layer controlled remote implementation of partially unknown single-qudit operations

Siyi Li, Song-Ya Ma, Si Jin

Abstract Our concern is to investigate controlled remote implementation of partially unknown operations with multiple layers. We first propose a scheme to realize the remote implementation of single-qubit operations belonging to the restricted sets. Then, the proposed scheme is extended to the case of single-qudit operations. As long as the controller and the higher-layer senders consent, the receiver can restore the desired state remotely operated by the sender. It is worth mentioning that the recovery operation is deduced by general formulas which clearly reveal the relationship with the measurement outcomes. For the sake of clarity, two specific examples with two levels are given respectively. In addition, we discuss the influence of amplitude-damping noise and utilize weak measurement and measurement reversal to effectively resist noise.
