Abstract

Quantum teleportation is one of the most basic quantum protocols, which transfers an unknown quantum state from one location to another through local operation and classical communication by using shared quantum entanglement without physical transfer of the information carrier. And it has been widely used in various quantum information protocols such as entanglement swapping, quantum repeaters, quantum gate teleportation, quantum computation based on measurement, and quantum teleportation networks, which have important application value in quantum computation and quantum information. Quantum teleportation is a naturally bipartite process, in which an unknown quantum state can only be transmitted from one node to another. With the further development of quantum information research, it is necessary to transfer quantum states or quantum information among more and more nodes. Multipartite quantum protocols are expected to form fundamental components for larger-scale quantum communication and computation. A bipartite quantum teleportation should be extended to a multipartite protocol known as a quantum teleportation network. In this paper, a multifunctional quantum teleportation network is proposed theoretically. We first propose a special method of constructing four-partite quantum resources in continuous variables (CVs), and based on this, construct two different types of CV quantum teleportation networks. One type of network contains just one quantum teleportation process consisting of a sender, a receiver and two controllers. In this type of network, the unknown quantum state can be recovered at any other node according to the requirement after the measurement in the input node, which enriches the transfer direction and transfer mode of the unknown quantum state. And meanwhile, the two controllers can control the transfer of a quantum state from the sender to the receiver by restricting the sender and receiver’s access to their information, which makes the quantum teleportation network controllable. The other type of network has two quantum teleportation processes, each containing only a sender, a receiver and no controllers, which increases the number of quantum states that can be transmitted. Then we analyze the dependence of the fidelity of each quantum teleportation network on different physical parameters, and compare the characteristics, advantages and disadvantages among different types of quantum teleportation networks. The scheme for constructing a multifunctional quantum teleportation network in this paper shows some advantages, such as the greater number of quantum nodes, diversity of types, simple operation procedure. And all these advantages provide a broader application prospect for establishing larger and more complex quantum information networks in the future and quicken the pace of the application of quantum information.

Small Scale Quantum Network Communications via Multi-step Quantum Teleportation

Zhigang Chen, Dazu Huang, Ying Guo

Motivated by multi-step quantum teleportation of single-qubit states and two-qubit states with entanglement swapping, we present a small scale quantum network communication scheme based on entanglement of Bell states. In this scheme, it contains certain number of single-qubit quantum source nodes that teleport unknown quantum states to other nodes in the network in the multi-teleport fashion where every intermediate node can pass on any of its received quantum information to others via multi-step quantum teleportation. It makes legal nodes more convenient than any other previous schemes to transmit unknown quantum states to unknown participants in practical applications. The security of this scheme is based on the securely-shared quantum channels between all nodes.

Research Paper: Multi-hop Quantum Teleportation Scheme of the 6-Qubit Entangled State by Intermediate Nodes with the Best Efficiency

Negin Fatahi

Quantum multi-hop teleportation is important in the field of quantum communication. In this paper, we proposed a Multi-hop quantum teleportation scheme of the 6-qubit entangled state. In the proposed scheme, the sender teleports the desired information by transmitting a 6-qubit entangled quantum state to the receiver through the N intermediate nodes between the source node and destination node. Therefore, the sender and receiver are not in direct connection with each other, and the information is teleported in Multi-hop between the N neighbor nodes. Also, in this scheme, the 7-qubit entangled states as quantum channels are shared between neighbor nodes. Always, teleportation processes over long distances are problematic because of the existence of the environmental noise which is almost inescapable and adversely affects the entangled quantum channel. This scheme explains the quantum teleportation between N nodes in N-1 steps and it is suitable for teleportation processes over long distances. Also, we calculate the efficiency of this scheme and indicate the advantages of this protocol.

Quantum Networking Protocol Based on Quantum Teleportation

Jincheng Zhang

This paper proposes a novel quantum networking protocol leveraging quantum teleportation for rapid quantum information transfer within a network. Traditional quantum network architectures suffer from limited transmission speeds due to the requirement of physically transporting qubits. This protocol overcomes this limitation by utilizing the quantum entanglement and Bell states to facilitate instantaneous information transfer, circumventing the need for direct qubit conveyance. The core of the protocol relies on establishing and maintaining entanglement between nodes, followed by a Bell state measurement and classical communication to reconstruct the quantum state at the destination. This design offers a significantly faster method for quantum information distribution compared to conventional approaches. The theoretical framework is presented with detailed mathematical formulations of the key steps, including the Bell state measurement, the process of quantum state transfer, and the necessary classical communication protocols. This work contributes to the advancement of quantum networking technology and provides a foundation for future high-speed quantum communication systems.

Quantum Teleportation of Shared Quantum Secret

Sang Min Lee, Seung-Woo Lee, Hyunseok Jeong +1 more

Quantum teleportation is a fundamental building block of quantum communications and quantum computations, transferring quantum states between distant physical entities. In the context of quantum secret sharing, the teleportation of quantum information shared by multiple parties without concentrating the information at any place is essential, and this cannot be realized by any previous scheme. We propose and experimentally demonstrate a novel teleportation protocol that enables one to perform this task. It is jointly performed by distributed participants, while none of them can fully access the information. Our scheme can be extended to arbitrary numbers of senders and receivers and to fault-tolerant quantum networks by incorporating error-correction codes.
