Abstract
Abstract In the field of quantum information, quantum teleportation, as a highly promising core technology, has attracted widespread attention from researchers worldwide. Quantum entanglement, a special correlation between two or more quantum systems, provides indispensable theoretical support for quantum teleportation. However, current research on quantum teleportation still faces several key challenges, including the preparation of efficient and stable entanglement sources, the high-fidelity maintenance of entangled states, and compatibility with practical communication systems. Microcavity entanglement sources, as a crucial element in quantum teleportation research, are a core component of cavity quantum electrodynamics (Cavity QED) schemes, and their performance directly affects the efficiency and reliability of the entire teleportation system. Addressing these challenges, this paper proposes a quantum teleportation scheme based on a silicon nitride microring resonator as the entanglement source. The feasibility of the scheme is analyzed theoretically and verified via numerical simulation. This scheme utilizes four-wave mixing technology to directly generate high-fidelity polarization-entangled photon pairs in the microcavity. This not only achieves miniaturization and integration of the entanglement source but also significantly improves entanglement generation efficiency through optimized microcavity design, providing a practical solution to overcome the numerical bottlenecks currently faced in quantum teleportation. Using this entanglement source as a quantum channel, a continuous-variable quantum teleportation protocol is designed: Alice performs a Bell state measurement on the unknown input state and the local entangled mode using homodyne detection, while Bob reconstructs the quantum state based on the classical communication results through conditional displacement. This research theoretically establishes the feasibility of microcavity entanglement sources for high-fidelity quantum teleportation, with numerical simulations confirming the predicted performance.
