Abstract

A scheme of teleporting a superposition of coherent states |α⟩ and | − α⟩ using a beam splitter and two phase shifters was proposed by van Enk and Hirota (2001 Phys. Rev. A 64 022313). The authors concluded that the probability for successful teleportation is 1/2. In this paper, it is shown that the authors' scheme can be altered slightly so as to obtain an almost perfect teleportation for an appreciable value of |α| 2 . For |α| 2 = 5, the minimum of average fidelity, which is the minimum of the sum of the product of probability of occurrence of any case, and the corresponding fidelity is less than 1 by a quantity ∼10 −4 . We also discuss the effect of decoherence on teleportation fidelity. We find that if no photons are counted in both final outputs, the minimum assured fidelity is still non-zero except when there is no decoherence and the information is an even coherent state. For non-zero photon counts, minimum assured fidelity decreases with an increase in |α| 2 for low noise. For high noise, however, it increases, attains a maximum value and then decreases with |α| 2 . The average fidelity depends appreciably on the information for low values of |α| 2 only.

EFFECT OF DECOHERENCE ON FIDELITY IN TELEPORTATION OF ENTANGLED COHERENT STATES

Hari Prakash, Naresh Chandra, R. PRAKASH +1 more

We consider the scheme proposed by Wang [Phys. Rev. A64 (2001) 022302] for teleporting bipartite entangled states, which is a superposition of coherent states |α,α〉 and |-α,-α〉, with our suggested modification [Phys. Rev. A75 (2007) 044305] and discuss the effect of decoherence on teleportation fidelity. We find that if no photons are counted in both final outputs, the minimum assured fidelity (MAF), which is the minimum of the fidelity for any arbitrary information), is still nonzero except for the case when there is no decoherence and the information is in even coherent state. For non-zero photon counts, MAF decreases with increase in |α|2 for low noise but in the case of high noise, it increases, attains a maximum value and then decreases with |α|2. We discuss the variation of average fidelity with |α|2 and show that it depends appreciably on the information for low values of |α|2 only.

Teleportation of Superposition of Coherent States Using 4-Partite States and Effect of Decoherence on Fidelity

Shivani A. Kumar, Hari Prakash, Naresh Chandra +1 more

A scheme of teleporting a superposition of coherent states |α> and |-α> using a 4-partite state, a beam splitter and two phase shifters was proposed by N. Ba An (Phys. Rev. A, 68, 022321, 2003). The author concluded that the probability for successful teleportation is only 1/4 in the limit |α|→∞ and 1/2 in the limit |α|→∞. In this paper it is shown that the author’s scheme can be altered slightly so as to obtain an almost perfect teleportation for an appreciable value of |α|2. We find the minimum assured fidelity i.e., the minimum fidelity for an arbitrarily chosen information state, which we write MAF in this paper, for different cases. We also discuss the effect of decoherence on teleportation fidelity. We find that if no photons are counted in both final outputs, MAF, is still nonzero except when there is no decoherence and the initial state (the state to be teleported) is even coherent state. For non-zero photon counts, MAF decreases with increase in |α|2 for low noise. For high noise, however, it increases, attains a maximum value and then decreases with |α|2. The average fidelity depends appreciably on the initial state for low values of |α|2 only.

ALMOST PERFECT TELEPORTATION USING 4-PARTITE ENTANGLED STATES

Hari Prakash, Naresh Chandra, R. PRAKASH +1 more

In a recent paper N. Ba An (Phys. Rev. A68, 022321 (2003)) proposed a scheme to teleport a single particle state, which is superposition of coherent states |α〉 and |-α〉 using a 4-partite state, a beam splitter, and phase shifters and concluded that the probability for successful teleportation is only 1/4 in the limit |α| → 0 and 1/2 in the limit |α| → ∞. In this paper, we modify this scheme and find that an almost perfect success can be achieved if |α|2 is appreciable. For example, for |α|2 = 5, the minimum of average fidelity for teleportation, which is the minimum of sum of the product of probability for occurrence of any case and the corresponding fidelity evaluated for an arbitrary chosen information state, is 0.9999.

Quantum Teleportation

Hari Prakash

Quantum Teleportation of N qubits with perfect fidelity using maximally entangled states is explained. It is shown that non-maximally entangled states are used the minimum assured fidelity decreases. It is explained how the success 1/2 of teleportation of a superposition of even and odd coherent states suggested by Van Enk and Hirota was modified by Prakash, Chandra, Prakash and Shivani. It is also shown that the decrease in entanglement may sometimes even result in increase in fidelity. so as to make the success nearly 1. It is also explained how decoherence can be taken into account and how such schemes can be applied to similar phenomena of entanglement diversion and entanglement swapping.

Improving the teleportation of entangled coherent states

We consider the scheme proposed by Wang [Phys. Rev. A 64, 022302 (2001)] for teleporting bipartite entangled states using beam splitters and phase shifters. It is shown that the proposed scheme can be altered slightly so as to obtain an almost perfect teleportation for an appreciable mean number of photons. For mean number of photons equal to 2, the minimum of average fidelity which is the minimum of sum of the product of probability for occurrence of any case and the corresponding fidelity for an arbitrary bipartite entangled state is less than unity by a quantity of the order of ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}4}$.

Increasing Average Fidelity by Using Non-Maximally Entangled Resource in Teleportation of Superposed Coherent States

Hari Prakash, Manoj Kumar Mishra

We consider the problem of teleporting superposed coherent state using non-maximally entangled coherent state as quantum channel and study the effect of entanglement over quality of teleportation. We show that if maximally entangled coherent state (MECS) used by Van Enk and Hirota [Phys. Rev. A 64, 022313 (2001)] and by H Prakash et al. [Phys. Rev. A 75, 044305 (2007)] is replaced by a particular non-maximally entangled coherent state (NMECS), average fidelity of quantum teleportation increases appreciably at small coherent amplitudes. Since it is very challenging to produce superposed coherent states of large coherent amplitudes, the particular NMECS appear to be a good quantum channel for teleportation at small coherent amplitudes for practical implementation.
