Continuous-Variable Teleportation of Single-Photon States
Takayoshi Kobayashi
Abstract
The properties of continuous-variable teleportation of single-photon states are investigated. The output state is different from the input state due to the nonmaximal entanglement in the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen beams. The photon statistics of the teleportation output are determined, the correlation between the field information is obtained in the teleportation process, and the change in photon number is discussed. The results of the output photon statistics are applied to the transmission of a qubit encoded in the polarization of a single photon
