Experimental quantum communication

Abstract

Quantum correlations and entanglement in many-particle systems can be used to significantly increase and extend the performance of standard communication and computation techniques. Common to these methods is the joint measurement of two two-state particles in the so-called EPR-Bell-state basis, consisting of the four maximally entangled states of this two-particle system. In our experimental realizations we use interferometric EPR-Bell-state analysis, which allows us to transfer one of three messages per two-state particle (compared with the classical maximum of one of two) and to perform the teleportation with an efficiency of 50%.

Experimental Bell-State Analysis

Harald Weinfurter

State analysis of the joint system of two two-state particles is necessary for new types of quantum communication and experiments on Bell's theorem. It is shown how perfect quantum correlations occurring in two-photon interference effects can be utilized for the analysis of the so-called Bell states. The proposed system can give an efficiency as high as η = (1/4) using only linear optical elements.

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.

Controlled Teleportation of an Arbitrary Two-Particle State by One EPR Pair and Cluster State

Zhan-Ying Guo, Xiao-Xing Shang, Fang Jian-Xing +1 more

A scheme for controlled teleportation of an arbitrary two-particle state using a maximally entangled EPR pair and a cluster state as the quantum channel is proposed. After receiving Alice's Bell state measurement results, the controller performs a joint measurement on his particles under a non-maximally entangled Bell-basis. The receiver needs to introduce an auxiliary qubit, and performs a series of appropriate unitary transformations on his particles. The original state can be teleported successfully with the probability 2 cos2 θ.

Quantum entanglement and quantum teleportation

Yanhua H. Shih

Abstract One of the most surprising consequences of quantum mechanics is the entanglement of two or more distance particles. The “ghost” interference and the “ghost” image experiments demonstrated the astonishing nonlocal behavior of an entangled photon pair. Even though we still have questions in regard to fundamental issues of the entangled quantum systems, quantum entanglement has started to play important roles in quantum information and quantum computation. Quantum teleportation is one of the hot topics. We have demonstrated a quantum teleportation experiment recently. The experimental results proved the working principle of irreversibly teleporting an unknown arbitrary quantum state from one system to another distant system by disassembling into and then later reconstructing from purely classical information and nonclassical EPR correlations. The distinct feature of this experiment is that the complete set of Bell states can be distinguished in the Bell state measurement. Teleportation of a quantum state can thus occur with certainty in principle.

Entanglement in Two and Three Quantum Mechanical Systems

L. M. Arvalo Aguilar, M. M. Mndez Otero, P. Mastranzo

Entanglement is one of most peculiar characteristic of Quantum Mechanics (probably the other most mentioned is the particle tunneling through a barrier) because it entails correlations that supersedes classical correlations. It is conceived as the genuine quantum characteristic by many researchers and quite recently it has emerged as a physical resource to produce non-classical task, like quantum teleportation, quantum cryptography and quantum information. Entanglement could be distributed (efficient quantum communication is equivalent to efficient entanglement distribution (Plenio & Virmani, 2007)), concentrated (given an amount of entanglement, equal to the full content of entanglement in n pairs of identical entangled pure state systems, it is possible, using local operations on each system, to concentrate the total amount of entanglement into a smaller number m, m < n, of maximally pure entangled state system (Bennett, et al.; 1996)) and used to perform many quantum information tasks useful to overcome technical restrictions present on classical communication. In this chapter, we review the entanglement of quantum mechanical systems. First, in Section 2, we give a characterization of entanglement in terms of its special features as resource and its mathematical structure. Then, in section 3, we review some of the Bell inequalities. In Sections 4 and 5, we review some of the most important entanglement measures published for two and three entangled systems. After that, in Section 6, we give a characterization of quantum gates and operators by its entanglement power, i. e. the amount of entanglement that they can produce when acting on an arbitrary state. Finally, in Section 7, we briefly review the experimental detection of entanglement.
