Quantum teleportation of Dirac fields in noninertial frames with amplitude damping

Published Feb 26, 2019• 8 citations

Abstract

We investigate quantum teleportation between users located in noninertial frames and analyze how the acceleration can improve the fidelity of quantum teleportation between two relatively accelerating partners. We see that the fidelity increases with respect to the acceleration as a consequence of the Unruh effect. In our scheme, Alice and Rob initially share a special $\mathsf{X}$-type state, Alice stays stationary, while Rob is uniformly accelerated with respect to Alice. We additionally study the system-environment dynamics in the noninertial frames, i.e., the $\mathsf{X}$-type state shared between Alice and Rob interacts with the environment via amplitude damping channel. Our results demonstrate a monogamy relation of the fidelity with acceleration and amplitude damping channel, these result suggest that the fidelity of quantum teleportation cannot be enhanced simultaneously by both the acceleration and amplitude damping channel. Such a property may have potential applications in protecting the fidelity of quantum teleportation performed by observers in relative motion.

Teleportation with a Uniformly Accelerated Partner

Paul M. Alsing, Gerard J Milburn

In this work, we give a description of the process of teleportation between Alice in an inertial frame, and Rob who is in uniform acceleration with respect to Alice. The fidelity of the teleportation is reduced due to Davies-Unruh radiation in Rob's frame. In so far as teleportation is a measure of entanglement, our results suggest that quantum entanglement is degraded in noninertial frames.

Relativistic quantum teleportation protected by the anti-Unruh effect

Reza Hamzehofi, Davood Afshar, Mehrzad Ashrafpour

The interaction of an accelerated observer with a quantum field can modify the entanglement and quantum information shared between observers, thereby affecting quantum communication in non-inertial frames. We formulate the standard teleportation protocol in a relativistic setting where Alice remains inertial while Rob undergoes uniform acceleration and is modeled as an Unruh-DeWitt detector locally coupled to a massive scalar field. The detector-field interaction initially leads to a loss of entanglement and quantum information shared between Alice and Rob. Remarkably, under acceleration, the anti-Unruh regime can reverse this degradation, leading to an increase in both the shared entanglement and the accessible quantum information. We further find that, in the anti-Unruh regime, the teleportation fidelity is independent of the local free-evolution time of Alice's and Rob's states. At high accelerations, the recovered entanglement and quantum information enhance the teleportation fidelity, which approaches unity under appropriate conditions. These results demonstrate that the anti-Unruh effect can protect and recover quantum entanglement and information in a non-inertial frame by reducing the detector's effective temperature and the associated decoherence.

Teleportation in a non-inertial frame

Paul M. Alsing, David McMahon, Gerard J Milburn

In this work, we describe the process of teleportation between Alice in an inertial frame, and Rob who is in uniform acceleration with respect to Alice. The fidelity of the teleportation is reduced due to Davies-Unruh radiation in Rob's frame. In so far as teleportation is a measure of entanglement, our results suggest that quantum entanglement is degraded in non-inertial frames. We discuss this reduction in fidelity for both bosonic and fermionic resources.

Entanglement of Dirac fields in noninertial frames

Paul M. Alsing, Ivette Fuentes, Robert B. Mann +1 more

We analyze the entanglement between two modes of a free Dirac field as seen by two relatively accelerated parties. The entanglement is degraded by the Unruh effect and asymptotically reaches a nonvanishing minimum value in the infinite acceleration limit. This means that the state always remains entangled to a degree and can be used in quantum information tasks, such as teleportation, between parties in relative uniform acceleration. We analyze our results from the point of view afforded by the phenomenon of entanglement sharing and in terms of recent results in the area of multiqubit complementarity.

Teleportation of three-dimensional single particle state in noninertial frames

Q. D. Wu, Jing-Ji Wen, Xin Ji +1 more

Considering the spin degree of freedom of the Dirac field, we study the entanglement behavior of a different class of communication channel and teleportation of three-dimensional single particle state in noninertial frames. Numerical analysis shows that the communication channel in our scheme can offer enough distillable entanglement for the teleportation protocol. Moreover, the teleportation protocol could work well if Rob's acceleration is not very big, but the fidelity of the teleportation is still reduced due to the Unruh effect.
