Can classical noise enhance quantum transmission?

Published Nov 20, 2009• 3 citations

Abstract

A modified quantum teleportation protocol broadens the scope of the classical forbidden-interval theorems for stochastic resonance. The fidelity measures performance of quantum communication. The sender encodes the two classical bits for quantum teleportation as weak bipolar subthreshold signals and sends them over a noisy classical channel. Two forbidden-interval theorems provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the occurrence of the nonmonotone stochastic resonance effect in the fidelity of quantum teleportation. The condition is that the noise mean must fall outside a forbidden interval related to the detection threshold and signal value. An optimal amount of classical noise benefits quantum communication when the sender transmits weak signals, the receiver detects with a high threshold and the noise mean lies outside the forbidden interval. Theorems and simulations demonstrate that both finite-variance and infinite-variance noise benefit the fidelity of quantum teleportation. © 2009 IOP Publishing Ltd.

Quantum forbidden-interval theorems for stochastic resonance

Mark M. Wilde, Bart Kosko

We extend the classical forbidden-interval theorems for a stochastic-resonance noise benefit in a nonlinear system to a quantum-optical communication model and a continuous-variable quantum key distribution model. Each quantum forbidden-interval theorem gives a necessary and sufficient condition that determines whether stochastic resonance occurs in quantum communication of classical messages. The quantum theorems apply to any quantum noise source that has finite variance or that comes from the family of infinite-variance alpha-stable probability densities. Simulations show the predicted noise benefits for the basic quantum communication model and the continuous-variable quantum key distribution model. © 2009 IOP Publishing Ltd.

Controlled quantum teleportation over noisy channels

Vega Alcívar, Paúl Andrés

Quantum teleportation (QT) is the principal method of transferring quantum states from one place to another without actually revealing which quantum state is being transferred. This protocol makes use of entangled states shared between the sending and receiving stations, and two bits of classical information. However, in real communication systems which are used to carry the entangled state, a typical noise results in the degradation of the fidelity of teleported states. The protocol of controlled quantum teleportation (CQT) represents an extension to the standard quantum teleportation (SQT) with includes the third entity, so called “controller“, and is based on sharing of a tripartite entangled quantum state. The role of controller is to permit the fidelity of teleported state to be higher than it can be done using only classical resources. As a typical noise has detrimental effect on the performance of quantum teleportation protocols, In this work, a study of different noisy channels, which can exhibit the Markovian or non-Markovian dynamics is presented. Each noisy channel is characterized by the teleportation fidelity and by the control power.

Activation of entanglement in teleportation

Ryszard Weinar, Wiesław Laskowski, Marcin Pawłowski

We study the activation of entanglement in teleportation protocols. To this end, we a present derivation of the average fidelity of teleportation process with noisy classical channel for qudits. In our work we do not make any assumptions about the entangled states shared by communicating parties. Our result allows us to specify the minimum amount of classical information required to beat the classical limit when the protocol is based on the Bell measurements. We also compare average fidelity of teleportation obtained using noisy and perfect classical channel with restricted capacity. The most important insight into the intricacies of quantum information theory that we gain is that though entanglement, obviously, is a necessary resource for efficient teleportation it requires a certain threshold amount of classical communication to be more useful than classical communication. Another interesting finding is that the amount of classical communication required to activate entanglement for teleportation purposes depends on the dimension d of the system being teleported but is not monotonic reaching maximum for d = 4.

Weak-measurement assisted quantum teleportation fidelity enhancement under noise

Mohit Dhanik, Shraddha Sharma, Pitamber Mahanandia

This study presents an improved quantum teleportation protocol designed to enhance fidelity in noisy environments by combining weak measurements (WMs) with flip and reversal operations. In our scheme, Alice prepares a four-qubit entangled state and shares one of the entangled qubits with Bob, which serves as the quantum channel for teleporting an arbitrary single-qubit state. Since the communication channel is subject to noise, Alice performs a weak measurement on the shared qubit before transmission to reduce the impact of decoherence. Building upon existing WM-flipreversal frameworks, we propose a modified weak measurement and reversal (WMR) protocol tailored for different noises in a four-qubit entangled system. The approach applies WM and flip operations prior to transmission to enhance resilience against noise, followed by corresponding reversal operations after transmission to recover the original quantum state. We systematically compare the performance of our proposed WMR protocol with the previously proposed WM-flip-reversal method under three common noise models: amplitude damping channel (ADC), phase flip channel (PFC), and bit flip channel (BFC). Our analysis reveals that the modified WMR scheme achieves significantly higher teleportation fidelity and improved robustness, particularly in bit flip noise environments. These findings highlight the potential of optimized weak measurement strategies for developing more reliable and noise-tolerant quantum communication protocols
