Active teleportation and entanglement swapping of a vacuum‐one photon qubit

Abstract

Abstract We report the experimental realization of the “active” quantum teleportation (QST) of a one‐particle entangled qubit. The qubit is physically implemented by a two‐dimensional subspace of states of a mode of the electromagnetic field, specifically, the space spanned by the vacuum and the one photon state. This demonstration completes the original QST protocol and renders it available for actual implementation in quantum computation networks. It is accomplished by implementing a 8 m optical delay line and a single‐photon triggered fast Electro‐Optic Pockels cell. A large value of teleportation “fidelity” was attained: Fa = 90 ∓ 2)%. Furthermore we present a scheme for delayed‐entanglement swapping by applying the same quantum optical method.

Active teleportation of a quantum bit

We report the experimental realization of the ``active'' quantum teleportation (QST) of a one-particle entangled qubit. This demonstration completes the original QST protocol and renders it available for actual implementation in quantum computation networks. It is accomplished by implementing an 8 m optical delay line and a single-photon triggered fast electro-optic Pockels cell. A large value of teleportation ``fidelity'' was attained: ${F}_{a}=(90\ensuremath{\mp}2)%.$ Our work follows the line recently suggested by H. W. Lee and J. Kim [Phys. Rev. A $63,$ 012305 (2000)] and E. Knill, R. Laflamme, and G. Milburn [Nature (London) $409,$ 46 (2001)].

Teleportation of a genuine single-rail vacuum-one-photon qubit generated via a quantum dot source

Beatrice Polacchi, Francesco Hoch, Giovanni Rodari +5 more

Quantum state teleportation represents a pillar of quantum information and a milestone on the roadmap towards quantum networks with a large number of nodes. Successful photonic demonstrations of this protocol have been carried out employing different qubit encodings. However, demonstrations in the Fock basis encoding are challenging, due to the impossibility of generating a coherent superposition of vacuum-one photon states on a single mode with linear optics. Indeed, previous realizations only allowed the teleportation of dual-rail entangled states, by exploiting ancillary electromagnetic modes. Here, instead, we enable the quantum teleportation of pure vacuum-one-photon qubits encoded in a single spatial mode, by exploiting coherent control of a resonantly excited semiconductor quantum dot in a micro-cavity. Within our setup, we can both teleport genuine single-rail vacuum-one-photon qubits and perform entanglement swapping. Our results may disclose new quantum information processing potentialities for this encoding, whose manipulation is achievable via quantum dot single-photon sources.

Quantum Teleportation of Photon–Photon Diagonal Block Operations

Yang Yang, Qin‐Wei Zhang, Xue‐Lin Zhai +7 more

Abstract Teleportation of an unknown quantum operation, implementing a nonlocal gate on two distant particles, constitutes a fundamental component in quantum networks and distributed large‐scale quantum computers. In this study, it is realized that the experimental demonstration of teleporting photon‐photon diagonal block operations. Assisted by two previously shared entangled photons, a local photon‐photon diagonal block operation is transferred to its corresponding nonlocal gate and the protocol is able to realize a nonlocal photon–photon operation with diagonal block forms containing two unknown single‐qubit unitary operations. In experiment, two nonlocal diagonal block operations are successfully implemented on two separated independent single photons: the controlled‐NOT (CNOT) gate and the controlled‐Z (CZ) gate. To characterize the performance of the nonlocal photon–photon operations, the quantum teleported process fidelity is estimated. Additionally, the entangling capability of teleported photon–photon CNOT gate is verified. These results provide an approach to implement a unknown nonlocal photon–photon diagonal block gate and may have broad applications in distributed quantum information processing including quantum communication and quantum computation.

Quantum Teleportation with a Quantum Dot Single Photon Source

David A. Fattal, Eleni Diamanti, Kyo Inoue +1 more

We report the experimental demonstration of a quantum teleportation protocol with a semiconductor single photon source. Two qubits, a target and an ancilla, each defined by a single photon occupying two optical modes (dual-rail qubit), were generated independently by the single photon source. Upon measurement of two modes from different qubits and postselection, the state of the two remaining modes was found to reproduce the state of the target qubit. In particular, the coherence between the target qubit modes was transferred to the output modes to a large extent. The observed fidelity is 80%, in agreement with the residual distinguishability between consecutive photons from the source. An improved version of this teleportation scheme using more ancillas is the building block of the recent Knill, Laflamme, and Milburn proposal for efficient linear optics quantum computation.
