A note on quantum teleportation

Mikolaj “Mik” Sawicki

Published Nov 1, 1999• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Ever since the first successful Quantum Teleportation experiment was performed at the University of Innsbruck and subsequently repeated by numerous groups worldwide, the subject of Quantum Teleportation has been a big hit not only in the physics journals, but even more so in mass media.

Teleportation: who was first?

F. De Martini

The article on quantum teleportation (January p5), which said that this phenomenon had been demonstrated for the first time by a group from the University of Innsbruck, is not quite correct. The first successful quantum teleportation experiment was in fact performed by our group in Rome. Our paper, "Experimental realisation of teleporting an unknown pure quantum state via dual classical and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen channels" (D Boschi et al. 1998 Phys. Rev. Iett. 80 1121), was submitted in July of last year and published last month. The teleportation paper by the Innsbruck group, led by Anton Zeilinger, was submitted on 16 October of last year and published in December (Bouwmeester et al. 1997 Nature390 575).

Teleportation takes off

Quantum teleportation – the transmission and reconstruction of a quantum system over arbitrary distances – has been demonstrated for the first time by a group from the University of Innsbruck in Austria (Nature 1997 390 575). In addition to fundamental tests of quantum theory, the Innsbruck team says that teleportation will be a critical ingredient for quantum computation.

Teleportation Beams Up a Photon's State

A. Watson

Researchers at the University of Innsbruck in Austria have shown that part of the spin orientation of a photon of light can be transferred instantaneously to another photon, irrespective of distance. This work is being called the first experimental demonstration of quantum teleportation--the transfer of a quantum state from one particle to another, first proposed by IBM9s Charles Bennett and his collaborators in 1993. Quantum teleportation could have applications in quantum computing, say researchers, such as in constructing stable memories, protecting delicate quantum states, and communicating between quantum computers.

Quantum Teleportation Channels Opened in Rome and Innsbruck

Graham P. Collins

If you've heard the reports that teleportation has been achieved, and you're anxious about the implications for investments in the transportation sector, you can relax and instead look to physics futures for the payoff. Quantum teleportation as it currently exists involves the delicate dismantlement of an individual photon's quantum state and its reconstruction about a meter away. Although that may sound less exciting than the transport of starship captains from orbit to planet surface it should lead to new tests of the non-existence of what Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen called local “elements of reality.”

Talking physics with the Dalai Lama

Peter Rodgers

The University of Innsbruck in Austria is one of the world's leading centres for research into the mysteries and subtleties of quantum theory. The work of Anton Zeilinger and colleagues at Innsbruck – such as the experimental demonstration of quantum teleportation – regularly appears in the leading journals, and in magazines such as Physics World. Recently a surprising figure was seen in the labs. Was that really the Dalai Lama – the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism and winner of the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize – checking out a quantum optics experiment?
