Achieving near-unity fidelity of Quantum Teleportation (QT) in a noisy environment is an essential requirement for its real-world applications. Towards this goal, we devise a distinctive protocol based on the timing of the sender Alice's Bell-basis measurement, synchronous with the suitably engineered structure of noise in the receiver Bob's wing, without requiring any knowledge or manipulation of Alice's local noise. For this purpose, to finally obtain the teleported states by performing the required unitary operations, Bob has to retain his qubits for only two particular Bell-basis outcomes communicated by Alice, whose corresponding reduced states have no dependence on the noise parameters in Alice's wing. Such postselection is crucial for enhancing the fidelity of the teleported state towards its ideal limit, while ensuring its full independence of Alice's noise. We formulate the specifics of our protocol in terms of a generic two-level quantum system, subjected to a general non-Markovian spin-boson model for dephasing noise. The proposed scheme is illustrated by using any pure maximally/non-maximally entangled state as well as a Werner-type mixed state as resource. In particular, using resource states having small values of entanglement measure, we show that the high fidelity of QT is achievable in the presence of noise. Further, using our scheme, considering even the local regime of Werner states, wherein the Bell-CHSH inequalities are not violated, we show that the QT fidelity in the presence of noise can be appreciably high.

In this work, we consider the following teleportation protocol: There is an arbitrary two-qubit resource state, shared between two spatially separated parties, Alice and Bob. Applying local unitary operators, they transform the resource state into the canonical form. To teleport an unknown qubit, Alice now measures her qubits in the Bell basis. Then, the measurement outcome is communicated by Alice to Bob via noisy classical channel(s). Finally, after receiving the classical message, Bob applies the necessary unitary operator to his qubit. Under this protocol, we find the exact formulae of teleportation fidelity and its deviation. We further find conditions for non-classical fidelity within this protocol. If the classical communication is noiseless in the above protocol then there are resource states which can lead to zero fidelity deviation. However, we show that such states may not lead to zero fidelity deviation when the classical communication is noisy in the same protocol. We also explore the opposite case, i.e., the states, which cannot lead to zero fidelity deviation in the above protocol when the classical communication is noiseless, may lead to zero fidelity deviation when the classical communication is noisy in the same protocol without compromising the non-classical fidelity. Moreover, we exhibit scenarios within the present protocol, where the fidelity deviation increases if the entanglement of the resource state is increased.
In this work, we study quantum teleportation, a fundamental protocol of quantum physics. In particular, we present a mathematical methodology to study the combined effects of noisy resource state and noisy classical communication on teleportation fidelity and its deviation. We describe a teleportation protocol where an arbitrary two-qubit state in canonical form is used as a resource. Thereafter, to teleport an unknown qubit, Alice measures her qubits in Bell basis and conveys the measurement outcome to Bob via noisy classical channel(s). We derive the exact formulae of optimal teleportation fidelity and corresponding fidelity deviation where the resource state and the classical communication, both can be noisy. To provide the proof of optimality, we provide a systematic method. We further find conditions for non-classical fidelity and dispersion-free teleportation for our teleportation protocol. In this way, we identify noisy environments where it is possible to achieve dispersion-free teleportation without compromising non-classical fidelity. We also demonstrate scenarios where the increase of entanglement in the resource state, may degrade the quality of teleportation — a counter-intuitive instance. Finally, we discuss about the minimum classical communication cost required to achieve non-classical fidelity for our protocol. Here we mainly focus on a possible way to optimize the classical communication cost.
Transmitting unknown quantum states to distant locations is crucial for distributed quantum information protocols. The seminal quantum teleportation scheme achieves this feat while requiring prior maximal entanglement between the sender and receiver. In scenarios with noisy entangled states, optimal teleportation fidelity characterizes the efficacy of transmitting the state, demanding the proper selection of local operations at the sender's and receiver's ends. The complexity escalates further in long-range communication setups, prompting the consideration of a repeater-based approach, which incorporates arrays of nodes with multiple segments to facilitate the efficient transmission of quantum information. The fidelity of the communication line gets degraded even if a single segment is affected by noise. In such cases, the general wisdom employs the standard entanglement swapping protocol involving maximally entangled states across the noiseless segments and applying maximally entangled basis measurement at the corresponding nodes to achieve optimal fidelity. In this Letter, we propose a more efficient protocol for a certain class of noisy states, achieving the same fidelity as the standard protocol while consuming less amount of entanglement. Our approach ensures optimal teleportation fidelity even when the end-to-end state gets noisier, and thus promises efficient utility of quantum resources in repeater-based distributed quantum protocols.
Abstract The proposal of the quantum teleportation(QT) is to transfer an unknown quantum state from one place to another through local operations and classical communication. However, the efficiency of standard QT will be significantly reduced due to the influence of the inevitable noise in environments. In this work, we propose two schemes to improve the efficiency of the QT protocol when quantum channel is subjected to bit-flip or phase-flip noise. We find that the so-called more entanglement means low efficiency in the performance of the standard teleportation protocol, and the optimal fidelity is obtained only by using the appropriate unitary operation. Specially, we show that the optimal averaged fidelity to our schemes is always more than the best classically achievable fidelity 2/3. We also provide a physical explanation of the obtained conclusions and our results will be helpful for improving quantum communication with real implementation.
Quantum teleportation, a cornerstone of quantum information science, allows for the transfer of an unknown quantum state from a sender (Alice) to a receiver (Bob) using a shared entangled resource and classical communication. A fundamental challenge arises when the state to be teleported is unclonable, as dictated by the no-cloning theorem, precluding direct comparison between the initial and teleported states for certification. This paper proposes a robust Bell-certification scheme for validating the successful teleportation of such unclonable quantum states. We move beyond conventional fidelity benchmarks, which prove insufficient for unknown states, by focusing on the integrity of the Bell state entanglement and the correctness of the Bell measurement performed by Alice. Our methodology leverages the inherent properties of maximally entangled Bell states as the resource, combined with a verifiable Bell measurement analysis and a rigorous assessment of the classical communication channel. We detail how the quality of the shared entangled pair, potentially characterized by entanglement witnesses or purity measures, directly contributes to the certification of the teleportation process. Furthermore, we analyze the scheme's resilience to common noise models, such as depolarizing channels affecting the resource state, demonstrating how fluctuations in resource entanglement propagate to the certification confidence. The proposed Bell-certification provides a crucial framework for ensuring the reliability of quantum teleportation protocols in practical applications where direct state verification is impossible or impractical, paving the way for more secure and verifiable quantum communication and computation architectures.
Ideal Controlled quantum teleportation, discovered theoretically by Karlsson and Bourennane, is a weird paradigm of nonlocal transplantation of probability-amplitudes of an arbitrary unknown generic information-qubit possessed by a sender (Alice) on a qubit preserved by a distantly located receiver (Bob) under control or cooperation by a third party (Charlie) via maximally entangled Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state employed as the quantum channel with local operation and classical communication. The GHZ state is a fragile quantum resource and extremely sensitive to inevitable noisy environment causing decoherence. It fuels, therefore, an imperatively pressing demand to strategize a scheme for noise-resistant control quantum teleportation. We revisit the ideal control quantum teleportation but with a noisy Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger State in which each intertwining qubit suffers with differing noises and inequivalent levels, namely, bit-flip, amplitude-flip and phase-flip, i.e., asymmetric noise ambience. The controlling power, introduced by Li and Ghose, is invoked to assess the performance of the afore-described noisy strategy. It is seen that differing levels of noises breaks the classical bound of controlling power and, thereby, demonstrating the loosening authority of controller. Our findings suggest that to which extent of asymmetric noise ambience noisy control quantum teleportation is noise-tolerant.
