Abstract

We explicitly show that the quantum teleportation protocol can be employed to completely reconstruct arbitrary two- and three-qubit density matrices. We also extend the present analysis to n-qubit density matrices. The only quantum resources needed to implement the teleportation-based quantum state tomography protocol are the ability to make Bell measurements and the ability to prepare a few different single qubit states to be teleported from Alice to Bob.

Spin-1 teleportation-based quantum state tomography

Gustavo Rigolin

We show that the teleportation-based quantum state tomography (QST) protocol, originally built to reconstruct qubits (spin-1/2 systems), can be extended to deal with qutrits (spin-1 systems) as well. Similarly to the original proposal, only two resources are needed to implement the spin-1 teleportation-based QST protocol: (1) Alice should be able to implement the analog of Bell measurements for spin-1 systems; and (2) she should be able to prepare a few different single qutrit states that will be teleported to Bob.

Quantum state tomography for strongly coupled nuclear spin systems

Fatemeh Anvari Vind, Alexandre M. Souza, Roberto S. Sarthour +1 more

We perform quantum state tomography (QST) in a three-qubit system consisting of strongly coupled nuclear spins, known in the NMR literature as $ABX$ systems. We find that the number of experiments necessary to perform QST in such systems can be reduced with respect to those containing three qubits weakly coupled, which reduces the experimental effort required for the complete density-matrix reconstruction. To test the procedure we implement the full protocol for quantum teleportation. The tomographic results demonstrate that the density matrix can be reconstructed with fewer operations and high fidelity.

Benchmarking a Quantum Teleportation Protocol in Superconducting Circuits Using Tomography and an Entanglement Witness

Matthias Baur, Arkady Fedorov, L. Steffen +3 more

Teleportation of a quantum state may be used for distributing entanglement between distant qubits in quantum communication and for quantum computation. Here we demonstrate the implementation of a teleportation protocol, up to the single-shot measurement step, with superconducting qubits coupled to a microwave resonator. Using full quantum state tomography and evaluating an entanglement witness, we show that the protocol generates a genuine tripartite entangled state of all three qubits. Calculating the projection of the measured density matrix onto the basis states of two qubits allows us to reconstruct the teleported state. Repeating this procedure for a complete set of input states we find an average output state fidelity of 86%.

Experimental realization of quantum controlled teleportation of arbitrary two-qubit state via a five-qubit entangled state

Xiaofang Liu, Dongfen Li, Yundan Zheng +4 more

Quantum controlled teleportation is the transmission of the quantum state under the supervision of a third party. This paper presents the theoretical and experimental results of an arbitrary two-qubit quantum controlled teleportation scheme, in which the sender Alice only needs to perform two Bell state measurements and the receiver Bob can perform an appropriate unitary operation to reconstruct the arbitrary two-qubit states under the control of the supervisor Charlie. The operation process of the scheme is verified on the IBM quantum experience platform, and the accuracy of the transmitted quantum state is further checked by performing quantum state tomography. Meanwhile, a good fidelity is obtained by using the theoretical density matrix and the experimental density matrix. A sequence of photonic states is introduced to analyze the possible intercept–replace–resend, intercept–measure–resend, and entanglement–measure–resend attacks on this scheme. The results proved that our scheme is highly secure.

Quantum teleportation by using a genuinely entangled seven-qubit state

XinMei SUN, YaJun DUAN, Xin-Wei Zha

It is shown that a maximally seven-qubit state can be utilized for perfect teleportation of arbitrary three qubit systems and controlled teleportation of an arbitrary three qubit state. For perfect teleportation, the sender first performs a Von-Neumann measurement on her qubits, then the sender(Alice) tells the measurement result to the receiver(Bob) via a classical channel, the receiver can reconstruct the original state by performing appropriate unitary transformations on his qubits at hand. For controlled teleportation, the sender firstly carries out proper Bell-state measurements and the controller(charlie) needs to operate a single-qubit measurement, the receiver can reconstruct the original state by applying appropriate unitary transformations on his qubits after he knows the measurement results of both the sender and controller. Besides, the two teleportation schemes can be realized with the maximal probability.

Quantum teleportation of an arbitrary N-qubit state using and identifying only Bell states

Zhanjun Zhang

First, I show explicitly a scheme to {\it faithfully} and {\it deterministically} teleport an arbitrary 2-qubit state from Alice to Bob. In this scheme two same Bell states are sufficient for use. Bob can recover the 2-qubit state by performing at most 4 single-qubit unitary operations conditioned on Alice's 4-bit classical public message corresponding to her two Bell-state measurement outcomes. Then I generalize the 2-qubit teleportation scheme to an aribitrary $N(N\ge 3)$-qubit state teleportation case by using $N$ same Bell states. In the generalized scheme, Alice only needs to identify $N$ Bell states after quantum swapping and then publish her measurement outcomes ($2N$-bit classical message). Conditioned on Alice's $2N$-bit classical message, Bob only needs to perform at most $2N$ single-qubit unitary operations to {\it fully} recover the arbitrary state. By comparing with the newest relevant work [Phys. Rev. A{\bf 71}, 032303(2005)], the advantages of the present schemes are revealed, respectively.
