The hidden cost of quantum teleportation and remote state preparation

R. Srikanth

Published Apr 17, 2001• 0 citations

Abstract

The amount of information transferred during standard quantum teleportation or remote state preparation is equal to the preparation information of the transmitted state, rather than the classical communication required by respective protocol. This is shown by noting that the information required to specify the operation that verifies the transmitted state is identical to the preparation information, at the given level of precision m (in bits). Depending on the resolution of the projective Hilbert space, the preparation information can be made arbitrarily precise and hence indefinitely larger than the classical communication cost. Therefore, the classical communication is insufficient to account for the transfer of preparation information, which is then attributed to the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen channel. Some fundamental repercussions for relativistic quantum information processing are briefly discussed.

Classical-communication cost in distributed quantum-information processing: A generalization of quantum-communication complexity

Hoi‐Kwong Lo

We study the amount of classical communication needed for distributed quantum-information processing. In particular, we introduce the concept of ``remote preparation'' of a quantum state. Given an ensemble of states, Alice's task is to help Bob in a distant laboratory to prepare a state of her choice. We find several examples of an ensemble with an entropy S where the remote preparation can be done with a communication cost lower than the amount $(2S)$ required by standard teleportation. We conjecture that, for an arbitrary N-dimensional pure state, its remote preparation requires $2{\mathrm{log}}_{2}N$ bits of classical communication, as in standard teleportation.

Remote State Preparation

Charles H. Bennett, David Peter Divincenzo, Peter W. Shor +3 more

Quantum teleportation uses prior entanglement and forward classical communication to transmit one instance of an unknown quantum state. Remote state preparation (RSP) has the same goal, but the sender knows classically what state is to be transmitted. We show that the asymptotic classical communication cost of RSP is one bit per qubit--half that of teleportation--and even less when transmitting part of a known entangled state. We explore the tradeoff between entanglement and classical communication required for RSP, and discuss RSP capacities of general quantum channels.

CLASSICAL COMMUNICATION COSTS IN QUANTUM INFORMATION PROCESSING

MING-XING LUO, Xiu‐Bo Chen, Yixian Yang +1 more

Classical communication plays an important role in quantum information processing such as remote state preparation and quantum teleportation. First, in this paper, we present some simple faithful remote state preparation of an arbitrary n-qubit state by constructing entanglement resources and special measurement basis for the sender. Then to weigh the classical resource required, we present an information-theoretical model to evaluate the classical communication cost. By optimizing the classical communication in quantum protocols, we obtain the optimal classical communication cost. This model can also be applied to the quantum teleportation. Moreover, based on the present computation model, we reinvestigate some remote state preparation and teleportation protocols in which the classical communication cost was imperfectly computed. Finally, some problems will be presented.

Nonlocality in Remote State Preparation vis-a-vis Teleportation

Aiman Khan, Som Kanjilal, Dipankar Home

The hitherto unexplored nonlocality of quantum correlations in the information transfer protocol of remote state preparation (RSP) is investigated in terms of a unified nonlocality argument formulated for teleportation as well as for two distinct RSP schemes. The argument differs only in the respective types of local measurements used in each scenario. One of the RSP schemes uses single particle projective measurements, while the other uses joint Bell-basis measurements. Interestingly, the quantum mechanical violations of the Bell-CHSH type inequalities formulated for each of the RSP setups, while being equal to each other, also turn out to be equal to that of the corresponding Bell-CHSH type local realist inequality for teleportation, using the common resource of non-maximally entangled state. This reveals that for such a resource state, the maximum amount of extractable nonlocality of correlations involved in the transfer of information is the same for the standard teleportation protocol and the two RSP schemes considered here, thereby implying that the essential difference between teleportation and remote state preparation lies in the amount of classical information required to be exchanged between parties, and not in the nonlocality of underlying correlations.

A.: Remote preparation of quantum states

Charles H. Bennett, Patrick M. Hayden, Debbie Leung +2 more

Abstract—Remote state preparation is the variant of quantum state teleportation in which the sender knows the quantum state to be communicated. The original paper introducing teleportation established minimal requirements for classical communication and entanglement but the corresponding limits for remote state preparation have remained unknown until now: previous work has shown, however, that it not only requires less classical communication but also gives rise to a tradeoff between these two resources in the appropriate setting. We discuss this problem from first principles, including the various choices one may follow in the definitions of the actual resources. Our main result is a general method of remote state preparation for arbitrary states of many qubits, at a cost of 1 bit of classical communication and 1 bit of entanglement per qubit sent. In this “universal ” formulation, these ebit and cbit requirements are shown to be simultaneously optimal by exhibiting a dichotomy. Our protocol then yields the exact tradeoff curve for memoryless sources of pure states (including the case of incomplete knowledge of the ensemble probabilities), based on the recently established quantum-classical tradeoff for visible quantum data compression. A variation of that method allows us to solve the even more general problem of preparing entangled states between sender and receiver (i.e., purifications of mixed state ensembles). The paper includes an extensive discussion of our results, including the impact of the choice of model on the resources, the topic of obliviousness, and an application to private quantum channels and quantum data hiding.

Theoretical Quantum Remote Preparations

Mingxin Luo

Quantum communication as an important part of quantum information processing has been widely investigated. Different from classical communication,quantum information may be transferred without physical transportation of quantum media. Quantum teleportation is the first typical example. As an improved quantum transport protocol,quantum remote preparation may be used to balance the quantum measurement and classical communication complexity. However,studies have shown that this balance is unsuitable for all quantum states. It greatly depends on the spactial algebraic or geometric structure of space in which the information may be transmitted. Recently,it seems that the restriction can be partially overcome by using information splitting. This paper aims to summarize theoretical remote preparations and presents primitive examples. It is desired that with this article,researchers without fundamental knowledges may be familiar with these schemes. Meanwhile,it provides some suggestions for further research.
