In the Knill-Laflamme-Milburn (KLM) scheme, quantum teleportation is nearly deterministically carried out with linear optics. To reconstruct an original quantum state, however, a phase shift is required for an output state. We exhibit a proper phase shift to complete quantum teleportation.
We consider multiple teleportation in the Knill-Laflamme-Milburn (KLM) scheme. We introduce adaptive teleportation, i.e., such that the choice of entangled state used in the next teleportation depends on the results of the measurements performed during the previous teleportations. We show that adaptive teleportation enables an increase in the probability of faithful multiple teleportation in the KLM scheme. In particular if a qubit is to be teleported more than once then it is better to use nonmaximally entangled states than maximally entangled ones in order to achieve the highest probability of faithful teleportation.
We show that the multiple teleportation protocol (MTP) given in reference (J Modławska and A Grudka 2008 Phys. Rev. Lett. 100 110503) is not restricted to the Knill–Laflamme–Milburn (KLM) framework. Rather, we show that MTP can be implemented using any teleportation scheme. We also present two new MTPs which, under certain situations, are more efficient than the original one, requiring half of the number of its teleportations to achieve at least the same probability of success ( ). One of the protocols, however, uses less entanglement than the others yielding, surprisingly, the greatest .
We suggest an efficient scheme for quantum computation with linear optical elements, where the qubits are encoded in single photon states. The scheme reduces the resources required per logical gate by several orders of magnitude, compared to an earlier proposal of Knill, Laflamme, and Milburn, while the resource overhead per gate is independent of the length of the computation. A central feature of the scheme, enabling these improvements, is the prior construction of a "linked" photon state designed according to the particular quantum circuit one wishes to process. Once this state has been successfully prepared, the computation is pursued deterministically by a sequence of teleportation steps.
