On foundational aspects of optical quantum communication

Abstract

Using a simple model of the quantized photon field in an optical fibre we suggest a model of quantum teleportation of continuous variables which is more realistic than the usual one in the sense that the localization properties of the quantities to be teleported are taken into account.

The quantum state of a laser field

S. J. van Enk, Christopher A. Fuchs

Optical implementations of quantum communication protocols typically involve laser fields. However, the standard description of the quantum state of a laser field is surprisingly insufficient to understand the quantum nature of such implementations. In this paper, we give a quantum information-theoretic description of a propagating continuous-wave laser field and reinterpret various quantum-optical experiments in light of this. A timely example is found in a recent controversy about the quantum teleportation of continuous variables. We show that contrary to the claims of T. Rudolph and B.C. Sanders [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 87}, 077903 (2001)], a conventional laser can be used for quantum teleportation with continuous variables and for generating continuous-variable quantum entanglement. Furthermore, we show that optical coherent states do play a privileged role in the description of propagating laser fields even though they cannot be ascribed such a role for the intracavity field.

Large distance continuous variable communication with concatenated swaps

Muhammad Asjad, Stefano Zippilli, Paolo Tombesi +1 more

The radiation–pressure interaction between electromagnetic fields and mechanical resonators can be used to efficiently entangle two light fields coupled to the same mechanical mode. We analyze the performance of this process under realistic conditions, and we determine the effectiveness of the resulting entanglement as a resource for quantum teleportation of continuous-variable light signals over large distances, mediated by concatenated swap operations. We study the sensitiveness of the protocol to the quality factor of the mechanical systems, and its performance in non-ideal situations in which losses and reduced detection efficiencies are taken into account.

Distillation-Enhanced Continuous-Variable Quantum Teleportation for Satellite Communication Networks

Lia Suci Waliani, Georges Kaddoum, Mahdi Chehimi +1 more

Quantum teleportation (QT) over satellite-based free-space optical (FSO) channels is a promising approach for long-distance quantum communication. However, its performance is significantly degraded by atmospheric loss and turbulence. In this paper, we investigate continuous-variable (CV) QT in a dual-downlink scenario, where a satellite distributes entangled states to two ground stations. To mitigate channel-induced degradation, we employ a non-Gaussian entanglement distillation protocol based on the sequential application of photon addition and photon subtraction (PA-PS) on the weaker channel. The results show that the proposed scheme improves teleportation fidelity by up to 7.7% and enhances entanglement negativity by approximately 105% in the low-to-moderate (below 600 km) loss regime. In addition, we identify an optimal squeezing parameter that balances entanglement strength and noise sensitivity. Taken together, these results demonstrate the effectiveness of PA-PS distillation for improving CV quantum communication in realistic satellite networks. We further characterize the trade-off between fidelity gain and the heralded success probability of the protocol.

Quantum information transfer via various continuous variables

M.S. Kim, Jinhyoung Lee

Quantum teleportation is one of the important manifestations of quantum mechanics. We consider how quantum information is transferred via various entangled states of continuous variables including asymmetrically mixed Gaussian states and coherent entangled states.

Monogamy relation in multipartite continuous-variable quantum teleportation

Jaehak Lee, Se-Wan Ji, Jiyong Park +1 more

Quantum teleportation (QT) is a fundamentally remarkable communication protocol that also finds many important applications for quantum informatics. Given a quantum entangled resource, it is crucial to know to what extent one can accomplish the QT. This is usually assessed in terms of output fidelity, which can also be regarded as an operational measure of entanglement. In the case of multipartite communication when each communicator possesses a part of an $N$-partite entangled state, not all pairs of communicators can achieve a high fidelity due to the monogamy property of quantum entanglement. We here investigate how such a monogamy relation arises in multipartite continuous-variable (CV) teleportation, particularly when using a Gaussian entangled state. We show a strict monogamy relation, i.e., a sender cannot achieve a fidelity higher than optimal cloning limit with more than one receiver. While this seems rather natural owing to the no-cloning theorem, a strict monogamy relation still holds even if the sender is allowed to individually manipulate the reduced state in collaboration with each receiver to improve fidelity. The local operations are further extended to non-Gaussian operations such as photon subtraction and addition, and we demonstrate that the Gaussian cloning bound cannot be beaten by more than one pair of communicators. Furthermore, we investigate a quantitative form of monogamy relation in terms of teleportation capability, for which we show that a faithful monogamy inequality does not exist.
