The nonlocal quantum gate is discussed. We also propose a scheme for probabilistic implementation of nonlocal controlled-not operation via a nonmaximally entangled quantum channel.
Remote implementation of nonlocal quantum gates is one of the central tasks in quantum communication. Researchers devote much interest in remote implementation of nonlocal quantum gates via quantum entangled channel. Remote implementation protocols of two-qubit controlled-not gate, three-qubit Toffoli gate have been presented. We present two schemes for remote implementation of nonlocal Toffoli gate via partially entangled quantum channel against collective noise. The first is used to remote implementing of nonlocal Toffoli gate via partially entangled channel against collective-dephasing noise, and the second is used to remote implementing of nonlocal Toffoli gate against collective-rotation noise. The schemes are tolerant of collective-dephasing noise and collective-rotating noise. The agents can implement the Toffoli gate nonlocally with partially entangled quantum channel by introducing an auxiliary qubit and performing general evolution. The schemes are more convenient in application since they only requires partially entangled quantum states for nonlocal implementation of quantum operations.
We present a systematic simple method to implement a generalized quantum control-NOT (CNOT) gate on two d -dimensional distributed systems. First, we show how the nonlocal generalized quantum CNOT gate can be implemented with unity fidelity and unity probability by using a maximally entangled pair of qudits as a quantum channel. We also put forward a scheme for probabilistically implementing the nonlocal operation with unity fidelity by employing a partially entangled qudit pair as a quantum channel. Analysis of the scheme indicates that the use of partially entangled quantum channel for implementing the nonlocal generalized quantum CNOT gate leads to the problem of 'the general optimal information extraction'. We also point out that the nonlocal generalized quantum CNOT gate can be used in the entanglement swapping between particles belonging to distant users in a communication network and distributed quantum computer.
