Transfer of single photon polarization states by two-channel continuous variable teleportation

Abstract

Superpositions of two orthogonal single-photon polarization states are commonly used as optical qubits. If such qubits are sent by continuous variable quantum teleportation, the modifications of the qubit states due to imperfect entanglement cause an increase in the average photon number of the output state. This effect can be interpreted as an accidental quantum cloning of the single photon input. We analyze the output statistics of the single photon teleportation and derive the transfer and cloning fidelities from the equations of the polarization qubit.

Accidental cloning of a single-photon qubit in two-channel continuous-variable quantum teleportation

Toshiki Ide, Holger Friedrich Hofmann

The information encoded in the polarization of a single photon can be transferred to a remote location by two-channel continuous-variable quantum teleportation. However, the finite entanglement used in the teleportation causes random changes in photon number. If more than one photon appears in the output, the continuous-variable teleportation accidentally produces clones of the original input photon. In this paper, we derive the polarization statistics of the $N$-photon output components and show that they can be decomposed into an optimal cloning term and completely unpolarized noise. We find that the accidental cloning of the input photon is nearly optimal at experimentally feasible squeezing levels, indicating that the loss of polarization information is partially compensated by the availability of clones.

Continuous-variable teleportation of single-photon states

The properties of continuous-variable teleportation of single-photon states are investigated. The output state is different from the input state due to the nonmaximal entanglement in the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen beams. The photon statistics of the teleportation output are determined and the correlation between the field information \ensuremath{\beta} obtained in the teleportation process and the change in photon number is discussed. The results of the output photon statistics are applied to the transmission of a qubit encoded in the polarization of a single photon.

Quantum Teleportation Using a Transfer-Operator Method

Toshiki Ide

Quantum teleportation is a method to transfer unknown quantum states to a distant place with an assist of quantum entanglement. Whole process of the teleportation can be described by a transfer-operator. It allows us to calculate the output state in the case of the teleportation using non-maximal entanglement. This method investigates the properties of some of the output states. The photon statistics of the teleportation output are determined and the correlation between the field information β obtained in the teleportation process and the change in photon number is discussed. The results of the output photon statistics are applied to the transmission of a qubit encoded in the polarization of a single-photon state.
