Increasing Success Probability of a Probabilistic Quantum Teleportation
Chunjie Xu, Wen Ji Zhang, Zhanjun Zhang
Abstract
The probabilistic quantum teleportation scheme [ Phys. Lett. A 305 (2002) 12 ] is improved via two seemingly different methods (i.e., the usual ancilla method and the so-called Kraus method), respectively. The essence of the improvements is to fetch a part from the residues so that the success probability is accordingly increased. The two improved versions and a similar protocol proposed by Li et al. [ Phys. Rev. A 61 (2000) 034301 ] are compared mutually and discussed. It is found that they are equally efficient and can reach the success probability threshold determined by the inherent entanglement of the quantum channel.
