Non-local classical optical correlation and implementing analogy of quantum teleportation

Abstract

This study reports an experimental realization of non-local classical optical correlation from the Bell's measurement used in tests of quantum non-locality. Based on such a classical Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen optical correlation, a classical analogy has been implemented to the true meaning of quantum teleportation. In the experimental teleportation protocol, the initial teleported information can be unknown to anyone and the information transfer can happen over arbitrary distances. The obtained results give novel insight into quantum physics and may open a new field of applications in quantum information.

Experimental Realization of Teleporting an Unknown Pure Quantum State via Dual Classical and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Channels

D. Boschi, S. Branca, F. De Martini +2 more

We report on a quantum optical experimental implementation of teleportation of unknown pure quantum states. This realizes all of the nonlocal aspects of the original scheme proposed by Bennett et al. and is equivalent to it up to a local operation. We exhibit results for the teleportation of a linearly polarized state and of an elliptically polarized state. We show that the experimental results cannot be explained in terms of a classical channel alone. The Bell measurement in our experiment can distinguish between all four Bell states simultaneously allowing, in the ideal case, a 100% success rate of teleportation.

Bell Nonlocality: Guaranteeing Unclonable Quantum Teleportation

Revista, Zen, PHYSICS, 10

Quantum teleportation, a cornerstone of quantum information science, allows for the transfer of an unknown quantum state without physically moving the associated quantum particle. This process critically relies on shared entanglement and classical communication. A fundamental aspect of quantum information is the no-cloning theorem, which dictates that an arbitrary unknown quantum state cannot be perfectly copied. This paper investigates the intrinsic connection between Bell nonlocality, a profound manifestation of quantum entanglement, and the inherent unclonability of quantum teleportation. We argue that the very existence of Bell nonlocality within the shared entangled resource not only enables quantum teleportation but also fundamentally guarantees that the teleported state cannot be perfectly cloned. By examining the theoretical underpinnings of Bell's theorem and the quantum teleportation protocol, we demonstrate how the non-local correlations preclude any possibility of state duplication, thereby upholding the no-cloning theorem. This connection is vital for understanding the security and foundational aspects of quantum communication, establishing Bell nonlocality as a strong certification of secure, non-duplicable quantum state transfer. The analysis highlights that successful quantum teleportation, intrinsically linked to the violation of Bell inequalities, provides an experimental signature of the non-classical correlations that underpin security against cloning.

Quantum teleportation with a complete Bell state measurement

Yoon-Ho Kim, S. P. Kulik, Yanhua H. Shih

Summary form only given. The idea of quantum teleportation is to utilize the nonlocal correlations between an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen pair of particles to prepare a quantum system in some state, which is the exact replica of an arbitrary unknown state of a distant individual system. Three experiments in this direction were published recently. In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate a quantum teleportation scheme which satisfies all four of the above conditions. The input state is an arbitrary polarization state and the BSM can distinguish all four orthogonal Bell states so that the state has a 100% certainty to be teleported in principle. This is because the BSM is based on nonlinear interactions which are necessary and non-trivial physical processes for correlating the input state and the entangled EPR pair.

Teleportation as a measure of entanglement for an arbitrary state of two qubits

J. Grondalski, Daniel F. V. James

Summary form only given. Characterizing the entanglement of a general bipartite quantum system is a difficult problem. Most measures involve difficult extremizations and their physical motivation is not always clear. In this paper we propose an experimental measure of entanglement based on a modified version of the familiar teleportation protocol of Bennett et al. (1993). Briefly, teleportation traditionally involves two parties, Alice and Bob. Initially, Alice has a qubit in an unknown quantum state which she would like to communicate to Bob and Bob has two qubits in an entangled Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) pair. To accomplish this transfer, Bob shares one qubit of his EPR pair with Alice. She then performs a joint measurement or Bell measurement on her two qubits and relays this information back to Bob over a classical channel. Bob then uses the outcome of Alice's Bell measurement to transform his qubit, with a local unitary transformation, into the original quantum state, always with a fidelity of one.

Identifying genuine quantum teleportation

Chia-Kuo Chen, Shih-Hsuan Chen, Ni-Ni Huang +1 more

An unknown quantum state can be teleported by using quantum measurements and the maximally entangled Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) pair. It is well known that the usual nonclassical teleportation that cannot be simulated by the seminal classical measure-prepare strategy can be demonstrated with all entangled states. Herein, we propose a benchmark which reveals that not all such nonclassical teleportations are truly quantum mechanical. Rather, there exists a more robust classical-teleportation model, which includes the measure-prepare mimicry as a special case, that can describe certain nonclassical teleportations. Invalidating such a general classical model indicates genuine quantum teleportation wherein both the pair state and the measurement are truly quantum mechanical. We prove that EPR steering empowers genuine quantum teleportations, rather than entanglement. The benchmark can be readily used in practical experiments for ensuring that genuine quantum teleportation is implemented. The results presented herein provide strict criteria for implementing quantum-information processing where genuine quantum teleportation is indispensable.

Teleporting an unknown quantum state via dual classical and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen channels

Charles H. Bennett, Gilles Brassard A, Claude Crépeau +3 more

An unknown quantum state \ensuremath{\Vert}\ensuremath{\varphi}〉 can be disassembled into, then later reconstructed from, purely classical information and purely nonclassical Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) correlations. To do so the sender, ``Alice,'' and the receiver, ``Bob,'' must prearrange the sharing of an EPR-correlated pair of particles. Alice makes a joint measurement on her EPR particle and the unknown quantum system, and sends Bob the classical result of this measurement. Knowing this, Bob can convert the state of his EPR particle into an exact replica of the unknown state \ensuremath{\Vert}\ensuremath{\varphi}〉 which Alice destroyed.
