Abstract Chapter 14 discusses the quantum communication protocol called quantum teleportation, which uses the quantum correlations in an entangled particle pair shared between two observers to transmit the information stored in the (unknown) quantum state of a target system from one of the observers to the other. After reviewing the theoretical basics we showcase some of the important experimental demonstrations of teleportation. We then turn to more general protocols related to teleportation such as entanglement swapping, and the general formalism of isometries, before inspecting the option of delayed-choice entanglement swapping. In the light of these findings we compare teleportation to classical information transfer and inspect the related dense-coding protocol. Finally, we give an overview of basic quantum key distribution protocols is given, including the Bennett-Brassard-84 protocol based on conjugate coding and the entanglement-based Ekert-91 protocol

Bennett and his team pioneered the quantum teleportation protocol, a breakthrough where Alice transmits quantum information to Bob through a pre-shared entangled quantum channel. Remarkably, this transmission occurs without physically moving the information, relying on a combination of classical communication and quantum entanglement. This protocol not only demonstrates the essence of quantum entanglement but also underscores its potential in the realm of information transfer. The success of quantum teleportation experiments extends across various physical systems, with a particular emphasis on achieving effectiveness over long distances. Looking forward, future developments in this field may lead to multi-party protocols, thereby advancing both quantum communication and computing capabilities. A crucial component in quantum teleportation networks is controlled quantum teleportation (CQT), holding significant promise for the emerging concept of the quantum internet. In the preceding chapter, our exploration centered on the practical application of quantum teleportation protocols, with a specific focus on two key approaches: standard quantum teleportation and CQT. Our examination delved into the fundamental principles of quantum teleportation, encompassing critical concepts such as quantum entanglement, non-cloning, superposition, and the importance of measurements like fidelity. Throughout the chapter, we dedicated special attention to both the theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum teleportation, considering the intricacies of systems with continuous variables (CVs) as well as those with discrete variables (DVs).
Quantum teleportation is one of the most important protocols in quantum information, which is based on quantum entanglement. This paper provides an overview of the basic theory behind the original quantum teleportation protocol and explores its advanced variations. We validate these protocols' effectiveness by constructing simple quantum circuits. Following this, we delve into deeper theoretical aspects, experimental realizations, and applications of quantum teleportation, including quantum state exchange experiments and weak measurement techniques, as well as environment-assisted measurements. Finally, we briefly discussed its current limitations and the future prospects of quantum teleportation.
Abstract This chapter introduces three important quantum communication protocols: quantum teleportation, superdense coding, and quantum key distribution (QKD). The first two use entanglement as a resource, in the case of teleportation to transmit a quantum state and in the case of superdense coding to transmit two (classical) bits using a single qubit. QKD uses the non-determinism of quantum measurements to achieve unconditionally secure communication, and the chapter presents the original QKD protocol, namely BB84.
Quantum entanglement is a key feature of quantum mechanics. It describes connections between quantum systems that classical theories cannot explain. The idea of entanglement started with the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) argument. This argument questioned whether quantum theory was complete and showed the non-classical nature of quantum correlations. Schrödinger later defined the concept and introduced the term "entanglement" to describe composite quantum states that cannot be separated. Bell then created a framework that showed the predictions of quantum mechanics clash with local hidden-variable theories, leading to Bell's inequality. Experiments by Aspect and others provided strong evidence for the violation of Bell's inequalities and supported the reality of entanglement. Building on these theories and experiments, quantum teleportation became an important protocol in quantum information science. Bennett and his team proposed a scheme that showed how an unknown quantum state can be sent between distant parties using shared entanglement and classical communication, without sending the quantum system itself. Later experiments confirmed that this protocol works across different physical platforms. This paper reviews the historical development of quantum entanglement and its role in the emergence of quantum teleportation. In addition to the theoretical discussion, the teleportation protocol is implemented using IBM's Qiskit framework. The simulation results demonstrate the successful transfer of quantum states within the circuit model, illustrating how fundamental quantum communication concepts can be explored using quantum computing simulation tools.
