Remote control of restricted sets of operations: Teleportation of angles

Abstract

We study the remote implementation of a unitary transformation on the state of a qubit. We show the existence of nontrivial protocols (i.e., using less resources than bidirectional state teleportation) that allow the perfect remote implementation of certain continuous sets of quantum operations. We prove that, up to a local change of basis, only two subsets exist that can be implemented remotely with a nontrivial protocol: Arbitrary rotations around a fixed direction $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{n}$ and a $\ensuremath{\pi}$ rotation about an arbitrary direction lying in a plane orthogonal to $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{n}.$ The former operations effectively constitute the teleportation of arbitrary angles. The overall classical information and distributed entanglement cost required for the remote implementation depends on whether it is known, a priori, in which of the two teleportable subsets the transformation belongs. If it is known, the optimal protocol consumes one e-bit of entanglement and one c-bit in each direction. If it is not known in which subset the transformation belongs, two e-bits of entanglement need to be consumed and the classical channel becomes asymmetric with two c-bits being conveyed from Alice to Bob but only one from Bob to Alice.

Quantum Remote Control of Unitary Operations on a Qubit of Pure Entangled States

Chunmei Yao

We consider the remote implementation of an arbitrary unitary operation on one qubit of a pure two-qubit entangled state with 100% efficiency via entanglement swapping in detail, then directly generalize this protocol from two-qubit to N -qubit entangled states. The overall classical information and distributed entanglement cost required for this quantum remote control protocol is less than the bi-directional quantum state teleportation method.

Quantum remote control: Teleportation of unitary operations

Susana F. Huelga, Joan A. Vaccaro, Anthony Chefles +1 more

We consider the implementation of an arbitrary unitary operation U upon a distant quantum system. This teleportation of U can be viewed as quantum remote control. We investigate protocols that achieve this using local operations, classical communication, and shared entanglement. Lower bounds on the necessary entanglement and classical communication are determined using causality and the linearity of quantum mechanics. We examine in particular detail the resources required if the remote control is to be implemented as a classical black box. Under these circumstances, we prove that the required resources are, necessarily, those needed for implementation by bidirectional state teleportation.

Controlled bidirectional remote implementations of partially unknown quantum operations

Miao Liu, Nueraminaimu Maihemuti, Peng Jia-yin

Abstract By blending the ideas of controlled teleportation, bidirectional teleportation and remote implementation of quantum operations, we investigate the bidirectional transmission of quantum operations under the control of one supervisor. Firstly, we provide a method for generating a class of multi-particle entangled states, including five-particle and seven-particle entangled states, using a nine-particle entangled state as an example. Then using our constructed five-particle entangled state as a quantum channel, we propose a new controlled bidirectional protocol for remotely implementing partially known quantum operations (PUQOs for short) of one qubit within the two restricted sets satisfying specific conditions. Subsequently, exploiting a nine-particle entangled state as the quantum channel, we extend it to the case of two-qubit quantum operations which come from eight restricted sets. Replacing two PUQO of two qubits by a PUQO of one qubit and a PUQO of two qubits, we put forward another new asymmetric controlled bidirectional protocol for remotely implementing PKQOs via a seven-particle entangled state as the quantum channel. In these protocols, by using universal recovered operations performed by the receivers, the senders can simultaneously exchange their PUQOs as long as the controller collaborates, where each PUQO acts on the corresponding unknown state owned by the remote recipient.

Controlled remote implementation of quantum operations with high-dimensional systems

You-Bang Zhan, Xiaowei Li, Peng-Cheng Ma +1 more

We present two protocols for the controlled remote implementation of quantum operations between three-party high-dimensional systems. Firstly, the controlled teleportation of an arbitrary unitary operation by bidirectional quantum state teleportaion (BQST) with high-dimensional systems is considered. Then, instead of using the BQST method, a protocol for controlled remote implementation of partially unknown operations belonging to some restricted sets in high-dimensional systems is proposed. It is shown that, in these protocols, if and only if the controller would like to help the sender with the remote operations, the controlled remote implementation of quantum operations for high-dimensional systems can be completed.

Essentially optimal gate teleportation

Lukas Schmitt, David Sutter

Gate teleportation allows us to implement a nonlocal unitary using local operations, classical communication (LOCC), and a shared entangled state. Known deterministic teleportation protocols consume at least one full ebit and achieve optimal entanglement consumption only for Clifford gates. Here, we present a deterministic LOCC protocol for implementing the two-qubit controlled-phase gate $U_φ=\mathrm{diag}(1,1,1,e^{i φ})$ with $φ\in [0,π]$ whose entanglement consumption is close to optimal for every $φ$. In particular, vanishing rotation angles require vanishing entanglement.

Teleportation of quantum coherence

S Sohail, Arun Kumar Pati, Vijeth Aradhya +2 more

We investigate whether it is possible to teleport the coherence of an unknown quantum state from Alice to Bob by communicating a smaller number of classical bits in comparison to what is required for teleporting an unknown quantum state. We find that we cannot achieve perfect teleportation of coherence with one bit of classical communication for an arbitrary qubit. However, we find that if the qubit is partially known, i.e., chosen from the equatorial and polar circles of the Bloch sphere, then teleportation of coherence is possible with the transfer of one cbit of information when we have maximally entangled states as a shared resource. In the case of the resource being a nonmaximally entangled state, we can teleport the coherence with a certain probability of success. In a general teleportation protocol for coherence, we derive a compact formula for the final state at Bob's laboratory in terms of the composition of the completely positive maps corresponding to the shared resource state and a joint positive operator-valued measure (POVM) performed by Alice on her qubit and the unknown state. Using this formula, we show that teleportation of the coherence of a partially known state with real matrix elements is perfectly possible with the help of a maximally entangled state as a resource. Furthermore, we explore the teleportation of coherence with Werner states and show that even when Werner states become separable, the amount of teleported coherence is nonzero, implying the possibility of teleportation of coherence without entanglement.
