Quantum teleportation of an arbitrary two-qubit state and its relation to multipartite entanglement

Abstract

We explicitly show a protocol in which an arbitrary two qubit state $\ensuremath{\mid}\ensuremath{\phi}⟩=a\ensuremath{\mid}00⟩+b\ensuremath{\mid}01⟩+c\ensuremath{\mid}10⟩+d\ensuremath{\mid}11⟩$ is faithfully and deterministically teleported from Alice to Bob. We construct the 16 orthogonal generalized Bell states that can be used to teleport the two qubits. The local operations Bob must perform on his qubits in order to recover the teleported state are also constructed. They are restricted only to single-qubit gates. This means that a controlled-NOT gate is not necessary to complete the protocol. A generalization where $N$ qubits are teleported is also shown. We define a generalized magic basis, which possesses interesting properties. These properties help us to suggest a generalized concurrence from which we construct a measure of entanglement that has a clear physical interpretation: A multipartite state has maximum entanglement if it is a genuine quantum teleportation channel.

Probabilistic Teleportation of an Arbitrary N-qubit State via Entanglement Swapping

Yi-Qi Wang, Fang Jian-Xing, Jiang Wei-Xing +1 more

Recently, there is much interest in the study of quantum teleportation. Its marvelous security property makes it particularly attractive as potential means for future communication. Uncertain principal and no-cloning theories of quantum mechanics forbid exact copy of quantum states. To solve the problem, quantum teleportation devides message state into two parts: classical message and quantum message which are transmitted through relevant classical and quantum channels from a sender Alice to a distant receiver Bob, respectively. According to both message states, Bob can recover the original message state with certain possibility. Utilizing the general quantum teleportation protocol, in this scheme, a new method is presented by which multi-qubit quantum information can be teleported in a much easier way. It has been extended to teleportation of an arbitrary N-qubit state via entanglement swapping and probabilistic teleportation is investigated as well, which has a more general meaning. N non-maximally entangled triplet GHZ states (Greenberger-Home-Zeilinger), taking the place of the previous EPR states (Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen), serve as quantum channels, which avoids introducing extra auxiliary qubit. In order to complete the teleportation, Alice has to devide all qubits into N parts and make Bell-State measurement on qubit pair (i, x(subscript i)) and tell Bob the measurement result through classical channel, then Bob perform some simple local operations on qubits (y(subscript i), z(subscript i)) to finish teleporting the i-th qubit. Conditioned on N-times similar repeat, Bob can faithfully reconstruct the initial state. Results show that, in this method, the identification difficulty of entangled states is considerably reduced, the new method is more feasible in technique. And the total possibility of successful teleportation is (The equation is abbreviated). As a special case, teleportation of an arbitrary two-qubit state is proposed.

Quantum teleportation of an arbitrary N-qubit state using and identifying only Bell states

Zhanjun Zhang

First, I show explicitly a scheme to {\it faithfully} and {\it deterministically} teleport an arbitrary 2-qubit state from Alice to Bob. In this scheme two same Bell states are sufficient for use. Bob can recover the 2-qubit state by performing at most 4 single-qubit unitary operations conditioned on Alice's 4-bit classical public message corresponding to her two Bell-state measurement outcomes. Then I generalize the 2-qubit teleportation scheme to an aribitrary $N(N\ge 3)$-qubit state teleportation case by using $N$ same Bell states. In the generalized scheme, Alice only needs to identify $N$ Bell states after quantum swapping and then publish her measurement outcomes ($2N$-bit classical message). Conditioned on Alice's $2N$-bit classical message, Bob only needs to perform at most $2N$ single-qubit unitary operations to {\it fully} recover the arbitrary state. By comparing with the newest relevant work [Phys. Rev. A{\bf 71}, 032303(2005)], the advantages of the present schemes are revealed, respectively.

Teleportations of Mixed States and Multipartite Quantum States

Chang‐shui Yu, Yahong Wang, He‐Shan Song

In this paper, we propose a protocol to deterministically teleport an unknown mixed state of qubit by utilizing a maximally bipartite entangled state of qubits as quantum channel. If a non-maximally entangled bipartite pure state is employed as quantum channel, the unknown mixed quantum state of qubit can be teleported with 1−(1− C 2 ) 1/2 probability, where C is the concurrence of the quantum channel. The protocol can also be generalized to teleport a mixed state of qudit or a multipartite mixed state. More important purpose is that, on the basis of the protocol, the teleportation of an arbitrary multipartite (pure or mixed) quantum state can be decomposed into the teleportation of each subsystem by employing separate entangled states as quantum channels. In the case of deterministic teleportation, Bob only needs to perform unitary transformations on his single particles in order to recover the initial teleported multipartite quantum state.

General form of genuine multipartite entanglement quantum channels for teleportation

Ping-Xing Chen, Shi-Yao Zhu, Guang‐Can Guo

Recently Yeo and Chua [Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 060502 (2006)] presented an explicit protocol for faithfully teleporting an arbitrary two-qubit state via a genuine four-qubit entanglement channel. Here we generalize completely their results to teleporting an arbitrary $N$-qubit state via genuine $N$-qubit entanglement channels. And we present the general form of the genuine multipartite entanglement channels, namely, the sufficient and necessary condition the genuine $N$-qubit entanglement channels must satisfy to teleport an arbitrary $N$-qubit state.

Teleportation as a measure of entanglement for an arbitrary state of two qubits

J. Grondalski, Daniel F. V. James

Summary form only given. Characterizing the entanglement of a general bipartite quantum system is a difficult problem. Most measures involve difficult extremizations and their physical motivation is not always clear. In this paper we propose an experimental measure of entanglement based on a modified version of the familiar teleportation protocol of Bennett et al. (1993). Briefly, teleportation traditionally involves two parties, Alice and Bob. Initially, Alice has a qubit in an unknown quantum state which she would like to communicate to Bob and Bob has two qubits in an entangled Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) pair. To accomplish this transfer, Bob shares one qubit of his EPR pair with Alice. She then performs a joint measurement or Bell measurement on her two qubits and relays this information back to Bob over a classical channel. Bob then uses the outcome of Alice's Bell measurement to transform his qubit, with a local unitary transformation, into the original quantum state, always with a fidelity of one.
