Abstract

We investigate the role of quadrature squeezing in the quantum teleportation protocol for coherent states, using non-Gaussian resource states. For the two-mode systems, the non-Gaussian resource states that we use are obtained by an experimentally realizable scheme of photon subtraction, photon addition, and photon catalysis, on the two-mode squeezed vacuum, and two-mode squeezed thermal states. We first analyze the non-classical attribute of quadrature squeezing in these generated non-Gaussian states using the $U(2)$ invariant squeezing approach, which allows us to account for all possible quadratures. We then show that the presence of such non-classicality in non-Gaussian resource states is not necessary for successful quantum teleportation, a finding which is at variance with an earlier result in this direction. This result is important since it demonstrates how non-classicality other than quadrature squeezing present in the resource can be utilized for quantum teleportation.

Non-Gaussian two mode squeezed thermal states in continuous variable quantum teleportation

Chandan Kumar

Abstract We consider a practical scheme for the implementation of non-Gaussian operation, viz., photon subtraction, photon addition, and photon catalysis, on two-mode squeezed thermal state. The generated states are employed as resources in continuous-variable quantum teleportation. The results show that the three non-Gaussian operations can enhance the teleportation fidelity. Considering the success probability of the non-Gaussian operations, we identify single-photon catalysis and single photon subtraction to be optimal for teleporting input coherent states and squeezed vacuum states, at low and intermediate squeezing levels, respectively.

Quantum Teleportation with a Class of Non-Gaussian Entangled Resources

Soumyakanti Bose, Manoranjan Kumar

Non-Gaussian entangled states of light have been found to improve the success of quantum telepor- tation. Earlier works in the literature focussed mainly on two-mode non-Gaussian states generated by de-Gaussification of two-mode squeezed vacuum states. In the current work, we study quan- tum teleportation with a class of non-Gaussian entangled resource states that are generated at the output of a passive beam splitter (BS) with different input single mode non-Gaussian states. In particular, we consider input states that are generated under successive application of squeezing and photon addition/subtraction operations in various orders. We focus on identifying what attributes of the resource states are necessary or sufficient for quantum teleportation (QT). To this end we first evaluate two attributes considered in the literature, viz. squeezed vacuum affinity (SVA) and EPR correlation. While SVA is not non-zero for all two-mode resource states, EPR correlation is neither necessary nor sufficient of QT. We consider yet another attribute, viz. two-mode quadrature squeezing as defined by Simon et. al. [Phys. Rev. A 49, 1567 (1994)]. Our numerical results on the de-Gaussified two-mode squeezed vacuum state as well as the BS generated non-Gaussian states lead us to the conclusion that two-mode quadrature squeezing is a necessary condition for QT, in general. We further demonstrate the plausibility of this conclusion by giving an analytical proof that two-mode quadrature squeezing is a necessary condition for QT in the case of symmetric two-mode Gaussian resource states.

Optimizing realistic continuous-variable quantum teleportation with non-Gaussian resources

Ankita, Arpita Chatterjee

In this work, we investigate the performance of non-Gaussian entangled resources in continuous-variable quantum teleportation within a realistic setting. We describe the characteristic functions of three distinct entangled resources, a two-mode squeezed vacuum state, a two-mode photon-subtracted squeezed state, and a two-mode photon-added squeezed state. We extend the theoretical analysis by Yang et al. to include the realistic experimental conditions such as photon losses, imperfect measurements which typically affect continuous-variable quantum teleportation. Our results demonstrate that even in non-ideal situations, the photon-subtracted squeezed state outperforms the other two resources in the low squeezing regime, keeping fidelity above the classical threshold that suggests the robustness of photon-subtracted squeezed state in practical teleportation applications. We further analyze the EPR correlations of these entangled resources, revealing that the photon-subtracted squeezed state exhibits stronger EPR correlations than the original two-mode squeezed vacuum state and the two-mode photon-added squeezed state. This study merges theoretical models with realistic imperfections and utilizes non-Gaussian entanglement into high-fidelity quantum teleportation.

A phase-space approach for performing continuous-variable quantum teleportation with a non-Gaussian resource

Ankita, Arpita Chatterjee

We present a detailed phase-space analysis of continuous-variable quantum teleportation using a photon-subtracted two-mode squeezed Fock state (PS-TMSFS) as an entangled resource. We investigate the performance of PS-TMSFS within the Braunstein-Kimble teleportation protocol. The resource-state preparation is described and the success probability related to the photon-subtraction process is derived analytically. The Wigner characteristic function of PS-TMSFS is calculated and then employed to determine the fidelity for input Gaussian and non-Gaussian states. The dependence of the success probability and the teleportation fidelity on the squeezing parameter and the beam-splitter transmissivity is analyzed for both symmetric and asymmetric photon-subtraction scenarios. This results that the symmetric photon subtraction consistently outperforms the corresponding asymmetric configurations with the $(2,2)$ configuration providing the highest teleportation fidelity among the considered PS-TMSFS resources. A significant improvement over the Gaussian two-mode squeezed vacuum (TMSV) resource is observed for teleporting Gaussian input states, particularly in the low-squeezing regime, whereas the relative advantage for non-Gaussian input states depends on the functioning resource parameters and gradually diminishes as squeezing increases.

Continuous-variable quantum teleportation with non-Gaussian entangled states generated via multiple-photon subtraction and addition

Shuai Wang, Li-Li Hou, Xianfeng Chen +1 more

We theoretically analyze the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) correlation, the quadrature squeezing, and the continuous-variable quantum teleportation when considering non-Gaussian entangled states generated by applying multiple-photon subtraction and multiple-photon addition to a two-mode squeezed vacuum state (TMSVs). Our results indicate that in the case of the multiple-photon-subtracted TMSVs with symmetric operations, the corresponding EPR correlation, the two-mode squeezing degree, the sum squeezing, and the fidelity of teleporting a coherent state or a squeezed vacuum state can be enhanced for any squeezing parameter $r$ and these enhancements increase with the number of subtracted photons in the low-squeezing regime, while asymmetric multiple-photon subtractions will generally reduce these quantities. For the multiple-photon-added TMSVs, although it holds stronger entanglement, its EPR correlation, two-mode squeezing, sum squeezing, and the fidelity of a coherent state are always smaller than that of the TMSVs. Only when considering the case of teleporting a squeezed vacuum state does the symmetric photon addition make somewhat of an improvement in the fidelity for large-squeezing parameters. In addition, we analytically prove that a one-mode multiple-photon-subtracted TMSVs is equivalent to that of the one-mode multiple-photon-added one. And one-mode multiple-photon operations will diminish the above four quantities for any squeezing parameter $r$.

Role of quadrature squeezing in continuous-variable quantum teleportation

Soumyakanti Bose

Quantum teleportation (QT) lies at the heart of modern day quantum information science and technology. Despite extensive studies over past two decades, obtaining the necessary and/or sufficient criterion for QT with continuous-variable (CV) resources, besides entanglement, still remains an open concern. In this backdrop, here we analyze the role of a purely quantum optical (QO) attribute, known as quadrature squeezing, in CV teleportation. We first provide an analytic proof that for Gaussian resources quadrature squeezing is necessary for QT. However, for non-Gaussian resources we show a clear distinction between the pure and the mix states. For the pure states, quadrature squeezing appears to be necessary for QT, in the sense that there is no QT without quadrature squeezing. However, in the case of mix states we observe otherwise, i.e., QT could be achieved even without quadrature squeezing. Our results present the exotic character of the QO attributes of the CV resources and necessitate a deeper search for the necessary and/or sufficient criterion for CV QT.
