We describe a continuous variable teleportation scheme that allows to teleport the quantum state of spatially multimode electromagnetic fields. We call this scheme “quantum holographic teleportation” because it allows for reconstruction of a 2-D optical image preserving its quantum correlations in space-time.
We describe a continious variable teleportation scheme that allows to teleport the quantum state of distributed in space-time multimode electromagnetic field. Our teleportation protocol uses the spatially-multimode entangled Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen lihgt beams. We evaluate the "resolving power" of teleportation in space-time and specify the degrees of freedom of electromagnetic field whose quantum state can be effectively teleported. We call this scheme "quantum holographic teleportation" because it can be considered as an extension of conventional holography to quantum domain.
Summary form only given. The concept of quantum teleportation of continuous variables was suggested by Vaidman [see Phys. Rev. A, vol. 49, p. 1473, 1994]. The protocol for this kind of teleportation was elaborated and demonstrated experimentally by Kimble with collaborators [see Science, vol. 282, p. 706, 1998]. In this scheme the state being teleported is that of a single transverse mode of the electromagnetic field with finite frequency bandwidth. We describe the quantum teleportation scheme that allows one to teleport the quantum state of the wavefront of an electromagnetic wave. In other words we propose teleportation of the quantum state of a spatially multimode electromagnetic field.
Teleportation of optical field states (as continuous quantum variables) is usually described in terms of Wigner functions. This is in marked contrast to the theoretical treatment of teleportation of qubits. In this paper we show that by using the holomorphic representation of the canonical commutation relations, teleportation of continuous quantum variables can be treated in complete analogy to the case of teleportation of qubits. In order to emphasize this analogy, short descriptions of the basic experimental schemes both for teleportation of qubits and of continuous variables are included. We conclude our paper with a brief discussion of the effectiveness of our description of continuous variable teleportation and of the role of localization of quantum states in teleportation problems.
We introduce and theoretically investigate a scheme for teleportation of two-frequency entangled optical images in which the quantum channel is formed by four-frequency multimode states, generated in a single nonlinear photonic crystal by coupled parametric interactions. We study in detail the performance of the scheme. Namely, we evaluate its fidelity and the spatial-frequency spectra of the quadrature components characterizing the deterioration of the entanglement in the initial images due to the teleportation process. We analyze the influence of the spatial bandwidth of entanglement on the fidelity of teleportation. We investigate the performance of the scheme both in the near and the far diffraction field. Our analysis suggests that bandwidth matching of the quantum channel field with that of the images is generally necessary for high-quality teleportation. We show that entangled images are more fragile and more difficult to teleport than their coherent counterparts.
