The physical meaning of phase and its importance for quantum teleportation

Abstract

We argue that the two parties in any quantum teleportation protocol need to share more resources than just an entangled state and a classical communication channel. As the phase between orthogonal states has no physical meaning by itself, a shared standard defining all relevant phases is necessary. We discuss several physical implementations of qubits and the corresponding physical meaning of phase.

Quantum teleportation and state sharing using a genuinely entangled six-qubit state

Sayan Choudhury, Sreraman Muralidharan, Prasanta K Panigrahi

The usefulness of the genuinely entangled six qubit state that was recently introduced by Borras et al. is investigated for the quantum teleportation of an arbitrary three qubit state and for quantum state sharing (QSTS) of an arbitrary two qubit state. For QSTS, we explicitly devise two protocols and construct sixteen orthogonal measurement basis which can lock an arbitrary two qubit information between two parties.

Quantum teleportation using non-orthogonal entangled channels

Satyabrata Adhikari, A. S. Majumdar, Dipankar Home +2 more

We study quantum teleportation with the resource of non-orthogonal qubit states. We first extend the standard teleportation protocol to the case of such states. We investigate how the loss of teleportation fidelity resulting from the use of non-orthogonal states compares to a similar loss of fidelity when noisy or non-maximally entangled states are used as the teleportation resource. Our analysis leads to some interesting results on the teleportation efficiency of both pure and mixed non-orthogonal states compared to that of non-maximally entangled and mixed states.

Quantum Teleportation

Meryem El Kirdi, Hanane El Hadfi, L.B. Drissi +2 more

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).

Simulation of non-Pauli channels

Thomas Cope, Leon Hetzel, Leonardo Banchi +1 more

We consider the simulation of a quantum channel by two parties who share a resource state and may apply local operations assisted by classical communication (LOCC). One specific type of such LOCC is standard teleportation, which is however limited to the simulation of Pauli channels. Here we show how we can easily enlarge this class by means of a minimal perturbation of the teleportation protocol, where we introduce noise in the classical communication channel between the remote parties. By adopting this noisy protocol, we provide a necessary condition for simulating a non-Pauli channel. In particular, we characterize the set of channels that are generated assuming the Choi matrix of an amplitude damping channel as a resource state. Within this set, we identify a class of Pauli-damping channels for which we bound the two-way quantum and private capacities.

Hybrid Analog Teleportation-Direct Transmission in Noisy Bosonic Channels

Uesli Alushi, Simone Felicetti, Roberto Di Candia

Quantum teleportation uses a shared entangled resource, local operations, and a digitally error-corrected classical channel to transfer quantum states between distant parties. We introduce a hybrid teleportation-direct transmission protocol for state transfer that still exploits entanglement, but replaces classical communication and digital error correction with an analog feedforward through a noisy quantum channel. We show that quantum teleportation outperforms this protocol if the communication channel reduces the entanglement of all bipartite states having the same amount of entanglement as the resource; otherwise, the hybrid protocol is optimal. We apply our result to the state transfer of a uniformly distributed coherent-states codebook, highlighting experimentally relevant scenarios where our protocol is most effective. Our findings are directly relevant to both optical and superconducting microwave channels, where analog feedforward techniques have been recently implemented.

An Introduction to Quantum Teleportation

Adam Miranowicz, Kiyoshi Tamaki

Recent experiments confirm that quantum teleportation is possible at least for states of photons and nuclear spins. The quantum teleportation is not only a curious effect but a fundamental protocol of quantum communication and quantum computing. The principles of the quantum teleportation and the entanglement swapping are explained, and physical realizations of teleportation of optical and atomic states are discussed.
