Abstract

A new version of quantum teleportation of optical images in continuous variables is considered. The new scheme is based on quantum entanglement in continuous variables between light fields of different frequencies and allows wavelength conversion between input and teleported images. The protocol of quantum teleportation with frequency conversion can be used as a combined part of light/matter interface in quantum parallel data processing and in a parallel quantum memory.

Teleportation of entangled images with multiwave nonlinear optical interactions

M. Yu. Saygin, A. S. Chirkin, Mikhail I. Kolobov

The teleportation of entangled optical images is for the first time considered. The scheme offered is based on process of four-partite state generation in coupled parametric interactions realizing in an aperiodic nonlinear photonic crystal. The coupled nonlinear optical process consists of one parametric down-conversion process which is followed by two up-conversion ones. We study nonclassical properties of the generated fields by analyzing the EPR correlations for different pairs of modes and carry out the comparison of the EPR correlations of the input and images output images and also calculate fidelity of the teleportation exploiting the covariance matrices of the images. We take into account the difference of spatial frequency bandwidths of the entangled images and fields generated in the coupled process. It has been established that under certain parameters of the scheme one can be obtain rather high fidelity of the teleportation and good preservation of the quantum correlations of the input images for all details of the images.

Quantum Teleportation Between Discrete and Continuous Encodings of an Optical Qubit

The transfer of quantum information between physical systems of a different nature is a central matter in quantum technologies. Particularly challenging is the transfer between discrete and continuous degrees of freedom of various harmonic oscillator systems. Here we implement a protocol for teleporting a continuous-variable optical qubit, encoded by means of low-amplitude coherent states, onto a discrete-variable, single-rail qubit-a superposition of the vacuum and single-photon optical states-via a hybrid entangled resource. We test our protocol on a one-dimensional manifold of the input qubit space and demonstrate the mapping onto the equator of the teleported qubit's Bloch sphere with an average fidelity of 0.83±0.04. Our work opens up the way to the wide application of quantum information processing techniques where discrete- and continuous-variable encodings are combined within the same optical circuit.

Hybrid Teleportation Protocols for Heterogeneous Quantum Networks

Tom Darras, Adrien Cavaillès, Hanna Le Jeannic +4 more

The wave-particle duality of light has led to two different encodings of optical quantum information. One approach, referred to as the discrete-variable (DV) one, relies on finite dimensional quantum systems, while the other one, referred to as the continuous-variable (CV) one, is based on wave-like states belonging to an infinite dimensional Hilbert space. These two encodings have historically been separated, but recently, new hybrid protocols which aim at combining the advantages of the two encodings have emerged [1] . In that prospect our recent demonstration of the measurement-induced generation of hybrid entanglement between discrete- and continuous-variable quantum states [2] , [3] , located at distant places and connected by a lossy channel, has opened the way to the implementation of hybrid protocols and heterogeneous quantum networks. Following the first protocols based on this resource, such as the remote preparation of continuous-variable qubits [4] , or a violation of an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering inequality [5] , we will here report our latest experimental results on entanglement swapping and quantum teleportation protocols using hybrid entangled states based on different encodings [6] .

Teleporting with light : quantum optical implementations of quantum teleportation

P. T. Cochrane

This thesis is concerned with variations on, and improvements to, optical strategies of implementing quantum teleportation. In particular, I investigate four continuous variable teleportation schemes. Two schemes are based upon number-phase entanglement between two coupled harmonic oscillator modes. Joint measurements of number and phase on the coupled states are the basis for the protocols. The effects of phase decoherence on output quality are analysed and an equivalent classical protocol is introduced. The two remaining schemes improve and extend standard continuous variable teleportation. In one, coincidence measurements on the two-mode squeezed vacuum condition the entanglement resource, improving the efficacy of the protocol. In the other, the measurements made by the sender and displacements performed by the receiver are tailored to make more efficient use of the available information. In each case the protocol is described and relevant output parameters derived. The trends in output quality with respect to input parameters are interpreted and discussed.

Teleportation of entangled states

В. Н. Горбачев, A. I. Zhiliba, Andrew I. Trubilko

Teleportation of some pure entangled states of discrete and continuous variables is considered using a multi-particle quantum channel; particularly a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger channel. Both the protocols we have found for the discrete and continuous versions have identical features due to the properties of the quantum channel. In this way some entangled states can be teleported perfectly; a non-Bell-state measurement is needed in contrast to the one-by-one protocol where an unknown state can be recovered by all receivers only. For teleportation of continuous variables an optical implementation using squeezed light states is discussed.

Single-Photon Frequency Conversion for Quantum Interface

Yuanhua Li, Xianfeng Chen

Single-photon frequency conversion for quantum interface plays an important role in quantum communications and networks, which is crucial for the realization of quantum memory, faithful entanglement swapping and quantum teleportation. In this chapter, we will present our recent experiments about single-photon frequency conversion based on quadratic nonlinear processes. Firstly, we demonstrated spectrum compression of broadband single photons at the telecom wavelength to the near-visible window, marking a critical step towards coherent photonic interface. Secondly, we demonstrated the nonlinear interaction between two chirped broadband single-photon-level coherent states, which may be utilized to achieve heralding entanglement at a distance. Finally, we theoretically introduced and experimentally demonstrated single-photon frequency conversion in the telecom band, enabling switching of single photons between dense wavelength-division multiplexing channels. Moreover, quantum entanglement between the photon pair is maintained after the frequency conversion. Our researches have realized three significant quantum interfaces via single-photon frequency conversion, which hold great promise for the development of quantum communications and networks.
