A Set of Conditions for Teleportation without Resort to von Neumann's Projection Postulate

Akio Motoyoshi, K. Yamaguchi, T. Ogura, T. Yoneda

Abstract

Although a quantum teleportation scheme of the type proposed by Bennett et al. is of great interest, it is insufficient from the measurement theoretical point of view. This insufficiency and the conditions for a correct teleportation are discussed. A set of four conditions is proposed for correct teleportation.

Reversible quantum operations and their application to teleportation

Michael A. Nielsen, Carlton M. Caves

Quantum operations provide a general description of the state changes allowed by quantum mechanics. Simple necessary and sufficient conditions for an ideal quantum operation to be reversible by a unitary operation are derived in this paper. These results generalize recent work on reversible measurements by Mabuchi and Zoller [Phys. Rev. Lett. 76, 3108 (1996)]. Quantum teleportation can be understood as a special case of the problem of reversing quantum operations. We characterize completely teleportation schemes of the type proposed by Bennett et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 70, 1895 (1993)].

Quantum Teleportation of Four-particle State of General Formation Without the Postulation of Collapse

Zhang Ping, Yan Feng-Li

Based the scheme without the collapse postulation for quantum teleporting that proposed by Busch et al,a scheme for quantum teleporting of a four-particle state of general formation is proposed,which takes into account the action of the measuring device and avoids any reference to the postulation of the state vector collapse.

Analysis of the role of von Neumann's projection postulate in the canonical scheme of quantum teleportation and main quantum algorithms

Andrei Yu. Khrennikov

Modern development of quantum technologies based on quantum information theory stimulated analysis of proposed computational, cryptographic and teleportational schemes from the viewpoint of quantum foundations. It is evident that not all mathematical calculations performed in complex Hilbert space can be directly realized in physical space. Recently by analyzing the original EPR paper we found that they argument was based on the misuse of the von Neumann's projection postulate. Opposite to von Neumann, Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen (EPR) applied this postulate to observables represented by operators with degenerate spectra. It was completely forbidden by von Neumann's axiomatics of QM. It is impossible to repeat the EPR considerations in the von Neumann's framework. In this note we analyze quantum teleportation by taking into account von Neumann's projection postulate. Our analysis shows that so called quantum teleportation is impossible in von Neumann's framework. On the other hand, our analysis implies that the main quantum algorithms are totally consistent with von Neumann's projection postulate.

Scheme for Total Quantum Teleportation

E. DelRe, B. Crosignani, Paolo Di Porto

We address the issue of totally teleporting the quantum state of an external particle, as opposed to studies on partial teleportation of external single-particle states, total teleportation of coherent states and encoded single-particle states, and intramolecular teleportation of nuclear spin states. We find a set of commuting observables whose measurement directly projects onto the Bell basis and discuss a possible experiment, based on two-photon absorption, allowing, for the first time, total teleportation of the state of a single external photon through a direct projective measurement.

VON NEUMANN AND LUDERS POSTULATES AND QUANTUM INFORMATION THEORY

Andrei Yu. Khrennikov

This note is devoted to some foundational aspects of quantum mechanics (QM) related to quantum information (QI), especially quantum teleportation and "one way quantum computing." We emphasize the role of the projection postulate (determining post-measurement states) in QI and the difference between its Lüders and von Neumann versions. As is well-known, these postulates differ in the case of observables with degenerate spectra. Such observables are important in operations with entangled states: any measurement on one subsystem is represented by an observable with degenerate spectrum in the Hilbert space of a composite system. Some QI schemes (e.g. quantum teleportation and "one way quantum computing") are based on the use of Lüders postulate. The formal application of von Neumann postulate can block these QI schemes. In this note, we present a list of natural conditions under which von Neumann's description of measurements via refinement implies Lüders projection postulate.
