Abstract

A real time deterministic quantum teleportation over a single fiber channel was implemented experimentally by exploiting the generated EPR entanglement at 1550 nm. A 1342 nm laser beam was used to transfer the classical information in real time and also acted as a synchronous beam to realize the synchronization of the quantum and classical information. The dependence of the fidelity on the transmission distance of the fiber channel was studied experimentally with optimizing the transmission efficiency of the lossy channel that was established to manipulate the beam of the EPR entanglement in Alice's site. The maximum transmission distance of the deterministic quantum teleportation was 10 km with the fidelity of 0.51 ± 0.01, which is higher than the classical teleportation limit of 1/2. The work provides a feasible scheme to establish metropolitan quantum networks over fiber channels based on deterministic quantum teleportation.

Experimental realization of a quantum relay over a significant distance

A quantum teleportation over long distances is reported. Alice's unknown quantum state carried by a 1300 nm photon is teleported onto Bob's 1550 nm photon. Bob is situated in another lab connected with the EPR source by 2 km of optical fibres and at a physical distance of 55 m. The Bell state measurement is performed between two photons that travelled through 2 km of optical fibres each. This is a simulation of a transmission of a quantum state over 6 km using quantum teleportation which is the principle of a quantum relay protocol. A fidelity of 77% is obtained which is higher than the fidelity obtained with the best protocol using not entangled particles.

Hertz-rate metropolitan quantum teleportation

Quantum teleportation can transfer an unknown quantum state between distant quantum nodes, which holds great promise in enabling large-scale quantum networks. To advance the full potential of quantum teleportation, quantum states must be faithfully transferred at a high rate over long distance. Despite recent impressive advances, a high-rate quantum teleportation system across metropolitan fiber networks is extremely desired. Here, we demonstrate a quantum teleportation system which transfers quantum states carried by independent photons at a rate of 7.1 ± 0.4 Hz over 64-km-long fiber channel. An average single-photon fidelity of ≥90.6 ± 2.6% is achieved, which exceeds the maximum fidelity of 2/3 in classical regime. Our result marks an important milestone towards quantum networks and opens the door to exploring quantum entanglement based informatic applications for the future quantum internet.

Robustness and symmetry of deterministic quantum entanglement swapping

Hao Ming Zhao, Chuan-Jia Shan

In this paper, we present two quantum entanglement swapping schemes, a single-channel scheme and a dual-channel scheme, based on fiber channel transmission. We theoretically calculated the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen- (EPR-) type variance and symmetry parameter factors of deterministic quantum entanglement swapping in these two schemes. By comparing the quantum entanglement swapping of the single- and dual-channel schemes, we show that the transmission distance of the dual-channel scheme is much longer than that of the single-channel scheme. Interestingly, the quantum correlation strength and symmetry of the two remote modes after deterministic quantum entanglement swapping are significantly improved when the optimal classical gain and loss efficiency of the loss channel are chosen. Moreover, the entanglement swapping will be robust and not suffer from sudden death when the entangled optical modes are transmitted in the lossy fiber channel. We also show that nonzero entanglement enables deterministic quantum entanglement swapping under both schemes when the EPR entanglement is a pure state. The two optimized schemes provide feasible technical references for long-distance metropolitan quantum communication.

Quantum teleportation with independent sources over an optical fibre network

Quantum teleportation faithfully transfers a quantum state between distant nodes in a network, enabling revolutionary information processing applications. Here we report teleporting quantum states over a 30 km optical fiber network with the input single photon state and the EPR state prepared independently. By buffering photons in 10 km coiled optical fiber, we perform Bell state measurement after entanglement distribution. With active feed-forward operation, the average quantum state fidelity and quantum process fidelity are measured to be 0.85 and 0.77, exceeding classical limits of 0.67 and 0.5, respectively. The statistical hypothesis test shows that the probability of a classical process to predict an average state fidelity no less than the one observed in our experiment is less than 2.4E-14, confirming the quantum nature of our quantum teleportation experiment. Our experiment marks a critical step towards the realization of quantum internet in the future.

Long Distance Quantum Teleportation in a Quantum Relay Configuration

Hugues de Riedmatten, I. Marcikic, Wolfgang Tittel +3 more

A long distance quantum teleportation experiment with a fiber-delayed Bell state measurement (BSM) is reported. The source creating the qubits to be teleported and the source creating the necessary entangled state are connected to the beam splitter realizing the BSM by two 2 km long optical fibers. In addition, the teleported qubits are analyzed after 2.2 km of optical fiber, in another laboratory separated by 55 m. Time-bin qubits carried by photons at 1310 nm are teleported onto photons at 1550 nm. The fidelity is of 77%, above the maximal value obtainable without entanglement. This is the first realization of an elementary quantum relay over significant distances, which will allow an increase in the range of quantum communication and quantum key distribution.

Long-distance quantum teleportation assisted with free-space entanglement distribution

Ji-Gang Ren, Yang Bin, Zhenhuan Yi +4 more

Faithful long-distance quantum teleportation necessitates prior entanglement distribution between two communicated locations. The particle carrying on the unknown quantum information is then combined with one particle of the entangled states for Bell-state measurements, which leads to a transfer of the original quantum information onto the other particle of the entangled states. However in most of the implemented teleportation experiments nowadays, the Bell-state measurements are performed even before successful distribution of entanglement. This leads to an instant collapse of the quantum state for the transmitted particle, which is actually a single-particle transmission thereafter. Thus the true distance for quantum teleportation is, in fact, only in a level of meters. In the present experiment we design a novel scheme which has overcome this limit by utilizing fiber as quantum memory. A complete quantum teleportation is achieved upon successful entanglement distribution over 967 meters in public free space. Active feed-forward control techniques are developed for real-time transfer of quantum information. The overall experimental fidelities for teleported states are better than 89.6%, which signify high-quality teleportation.
