Role of quadrature squeezing in continuous-variable quantum teleportation

Abstract

Quantum teleportation (QT) lies at the heart of modern day quantum information science and technology. Despite extensive studies over past two decades, obtaining the necessary and/or sufficient criterion for QT with continuous-variable (CV) resources, besides entanglement, still remains an open concern. In this backdrop, here we analyze the role of a purely quantum optical (QO) attribute, known as quadrature squeezing, in CV teleportation. We first provide an analytic proof that for Gaussian resources quadrature squeezing is necessary for QT. However, for non-Gaussian resources we show a clear distinction between the pure and the mix states. For the pure states, quadrature squeezing appears to be necessary for QT, in the sense that there is no QT without quadrature squeezing. However, in the case of mix states we observe otherwise, i.e., QT could be achieved even without quadrature squeezing. Our results present the exotic character of the QO attributes of the CV resources and necessitate a deeper search for the necessary and/or sufficient criterion for CV QT.

Continuous-variable quantum teleportation, U(2)-invariant squeezing, and non-Gaussian resource states

Mohak Sharma, Chandan Kumar, Shikhar Arora +1 more

We investigate the role of quadrature squeezing in the quantum teleportation protocol for coherent states, using non-Gaussian resource states. For the two-mode systems, the non-Gaussian resource states that we use are obtained by an experimentally realizable scheme of photon subtraction, photon addition, and photon catalysis, on the two-mode squeezed vacuum, and two-mode squeezed thermal states. We first analyze the non-classical attribute of quadrature squeezing in these generated non-Gaussian states using the $U(2)$ invariant squeezing approach, which allows us to account for all possible quadratures. We then show that the presence of such non-classicality in non-Gaussian resource states is not necessary for successful quantum teleportation, a finding which is at variance with an earlier result in this direction. This result is important since it demonstrates how non-classicality other than quadrature squeezing present in the resource can be utilized for quantum teleportation.

Quantum Teleportation with a Class of Non-Gaussian Entangled Resources

Soumyakanti Bose, Manoranjan Kumar

Non-Gaussian entangled states of light have been found to improve the success of quantum telepor- tation. Earlier works in the literature focussed mainly on two-mode non-Gaussian states generated by de-Gaussification of two-mode squeezed vacuum states. In the current work, we study quan- tum teleportation with a class of non-Gaussian entangled resource states that are generated at the output of a passive beam splitter (BS) with different input single mode non-Gaussian states. In particular, we consider input states that are generated under successive application of squeezing and photon addition/subtraction operations in various orders. We focus on identifying what attributes of the resource states are necessary or sufficient for quantum teleportation (QT). To this end we first evaluate two attributes considered in the literature, viz. squeezed vacuum affinity (SVA) and EPR correlation. While SVA is not non-zero for all two-mode resource states, EPR correlation is neither necessary nor sufficient of QT. We consider yet another attribute, viz. two-mode quadrature squeezing as defined by Simon et. al. [Phys. Rev. A 49, 1567 (1994)]. Our numerical results on the de-Gaussified two-mode squeezed vacuum state as well as the BS generated non-Gaussian states lead us to the conclusion that two-mode quadrature squeezing is a necessary condition for QT, in general. We further demonstrate the plausibility of this conclusion by giving an analytical proof that two-mode quadrature squeezing is a necessary condition for QT in the case of symmetric two-mode Gaussian resource states.

Analysis of necessary and sufficient conditions for quantum teleportation with non-Gaussian resources

Soumyakanti Bose, Manoranjan Kumar

Recent theoretical and experimental advances have demonstrated advantages of using non-Gaussian optical resources compared to the Gaussian ones in the context of quantum teleportation (QT), an important quantum information processing task. From both theoretical and experimental points of view the question of which attributes of the resources, besides entanglement, render them useful for QT is an important one. In this paper, we examine the question of whether two well-studied attributes of optical resources, viz., squeezed vacuum affinity (SVA) and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) correlation are necessary and/or sufficient for QT. The specific class of non-Gaussian resources that we have considered for this purpose are the two-mode entangled states generated by mixing nonclassical inputs with vacuum at the beam splitter (BS). Our analytical results show that SVA is not always nonzero and hence it cannot be considered to be a genuine attribute. Our numerical results show that there exist some BS-generated entangled states that do not give QT in spite of being EPR correlated, implying that EPR correlation is not sufficient for QT. In conjunction with the earlier observation in the literature to the effect that EPR correlation is not necessary for QT, our results lead to the conclusion that in general, EPR correlation is neither necessary nor sufficient for QT. Our results leave the question open as to what attributes, in general, may be necessary and/or sufficient for QT.

Role of EPR correlation in Gaussian quantum teleportation

Soumyakanti Bose

Abstract Quantum teleportation (QT) plays a central role in state-of-the-art information science and technology that necessitates proper characterization of the resources. While entanglement is known to be necessary, condition of sufficiency for QT still remains an open question. Here, we partially answer this question in light of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) correlation. In the case of input coherent state, we provide an analytic proof that with a general two-mode Gaussian entangled resources EPR correlation is sufficient for QT . For a relatively restricted set of Gaussian states, however bigger than that of the symmetric states, we further show that EPR correlation is both necessary and sufficient . On the other hand, in the case of Gaussian pure input, our numerical results hint that EPR correlation mostly appears to be a necessary condition only . However, the necessary and/or sufficient condition for QT of a Gaussian mixed input state, apart from the entanglement, still remains an open question.

Enhancing Continuous Variable Quantum Teleportation using Non-Gaussian Resources

Eduardo Villaseñor, Robert Malaney

Continuous Variable (CV) non-Gaussian resources are fundamental in the realization of quantum error correction for CV-based quantum communications and CV-based computing. In this work, we investigate the use of CV non-Gaussian states as quantum teleportation resource states in the context of the transmission of coherent and squeezed states through noisy channels. We consider an array of different non-Gaussian resource states, and compute the fidelity of state teleportation achieved for each resource. Our results show that the use of non-Gaussian states presents a significant advantage compared to the traditional resource adopted for CV teleportation; the Gaussian two-mode squeezed vacuum state. In fiber-based quantum communications, the range of quantum teleportation is increased by approximately 40% via the use of certain non-Gaussian states. In satellite-to-ground quantum communications, for aperture configurations consistent with the Micius satellite, the viable range of quantum teleportation is increased from 700 km to over 1200 km. These results represent a significant increase in the performance of pragmatic and realizable quantum communications in both terrestrial and space-based networks.

Continuous-variable versus hybrid schemes for quantum teleportation of Gaussian states

Ioannis Kogias, Sammy Ragy, Gerardo Adesso

In this paper, we examine and compare two fundamentally different teleportation schemes: the well-known continuous-variable scheme of Vaidman, Braunstein, and Kimble (VBK) and a recently proposed hybrid scheme by Andersen and Ralph (AR). We analyze the teleportation of ensembles of arbitrary pure single-mode Gaussian states using these schemes and see how they fare against the optimal measure-and-prepare strategies---the benchmarks. In the VBK case, we allow for nonunit gain tuning and additionally consider a class of non-Gaussian resources in order to optimize performance. The results suggest that the AR scheme may likely be a more suitable candidate for beating the benchmarks in the teleportation of squeezing, capable of achieving this for moderate resources in comparison to the VBK scheme. Moreover, our quantification of resources, whereby different protocols are compared at fixed values of the entanglement entropy or the mean energy of the resource states, brings into question any advantage due to non-Gaussianity for quantum teleportation of Gaussian states.
