Multi-hop teleportation in a quantum network based on mesh topology

In this paper, we propose a mesh-topology-based multi-hop teleportation scheme for a quantum network. By using the proposed scheme, quantum communication can be realized between two arbitrary nodes, even when they do not share a direct quantum channel. Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen pairs are used as quantum channels. The source node (initial sender) and all intermediate nodes make Bell measurements independently. They send the results to the destination node (final receiver) by classical channels. The quantum state can be determined from the Bell measurement result, and only the destination node is required for simple unitary transformation. This method of simultaneous measurement contributes significantly to quantum network by reducing the hop-by-hop transmission delay.     

Routing protocol for wireless quantum multi-hop mesh backbone network based on partially entangled GHZ state

Quantum multi-hop teleportation is important in the field of quantum communication. In this study, we propose a quantum multi-hop communication model and a quantum routing protocol with multihop teleportation for wireless mesh backbone networks. Based on an analysis of quantum multi-hop protocols, a partially entangled Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) state is selected as the quantum channel for the proposed protocol. Both quantum and classical wireless channels exist between two neighboring nodes along the route. With the proposed routing protocol, quantum information can be transmitted hop by hop from the source node to the destination node. Based on multi-hop teleportation based on the partially entangled GHZ state, a quantum route established with the minimum number of hops. The difference between our routing protocol and the classical one is that in the former, the processes used to find a quantum route and establish quantum channel entanglement occur simultaneously. The Bell state measurement results of each hop are piggybacked to quantum route finding information. This method reduces the total number of packets and the magnitude of air interface delay. The deduction of the establishment of a quantum channel between source and destination is also presented here. The final success probability of quantum multi-hop teleportation in wireless mesh backbone networks was simulated and analyzed. Our research shows that quantum multi-hop teleportation in wireless mesh backbone networks through a partially entangled GHZ state is feasible.     

Probabilistic Teleportation of Three-Atom State via Five-Atom Cluster State

A scheme for probabilistic teleportation of an unknown three-atom entangled state via a five-atom non-maximally entangled cluster state as quantum channel is proposed. In this scheme, the sender performs two Bell state and a single-atom measurements on the atoms, the receiver can reconstruct the original state with a certain probability by introducing an auxiliary atom and operating appropriate unitary transformations and controlled-not (C-not) operations according to the sender Alice's measurement results. As a result, the probability of successful teleportation is determined by the smallest two of the coefficients'absolute values of the cluster state. The considerable advantage of our scheme is that we employ a non-maximally entangled cluster state as quantum channel in the scheme, which can greatly reduce the amount of entanglement resources and need less classical bits. If we employ a maximally entangled cluster state as quantum channel, the probabilistic teleportation scheme becomes usual teleportation, the successful probability being 100%.     

Teleportation of a 3-dimensional GHZ State

The process of teleportation of a completely unknown 3-dimensional GHZ state is considered. Three maximally entangled 3-dimensional Bell states function as quantum channel in the scheme. This teleportation scheme can be directly generalized to teleport an unknown d-dimensional GHZ state.     

Perfect quantum teleportation and dense coding protocols via the 2N-qubit W state

In this paper, we investigate perfect quantum teleportation and dense coding by using an 2N-qubit W state channel. In the quantum teleportation scheme, an unknown N-qubit entangled state can be perfectly teleported. One ebit of entanglement and two bits of classical communication are consumed in the teleportation process, just like when using the Bell state channel. While N+1 bits of classical information can be transmitted by only sending N particles in the dense coding protocol.     

Probabilistic Teleportation of Three-Qubit Entangled State via Five-qubit Cluster State

A scheme for probabilistic teleportation of an unknown three-qubit entangled state via a five-qubit non-maximally entangled cluster state as quantum channel is proposed. In this scheme, the sender performs two Bell state and a single-qubit measurements on the qubits, the receiver can reconstruct the original state with a certain probability by making appropriate unitary transformations and controlled-not (C-not) operations. As a result, the probability of successful teleportation is determined by the smallest two of the coefficients’ absolute values of the cluster state. The considerable advantage of our scheme is that we employ a non-maximally entangled cluster state as quantum channel in the scheme, which can greatly reduce the amount of entanglement resources and need less classical bits.     

Scheme for teleporting an unknown atomic state to any node in a quantum communication network

We propose a scheme for teleporting an unknown atomic state. In order to realize the teleportation to any node in a quantum communication network, an n-atom Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state is needed, which is utilized as the quantum channel. From this n-atom GHZ state, two-node entanglement of processing and receiving teleported states can be obtained through the quantum logic gate manipulation. Finally, for the unequally weighted GHZ state, probabilistic teleportation is shown.     

A General Method of Selecting Quantum Channel for Bidirectional Quantum Teleportation

Based on tensor representation and Bell basis measurement in bidirectional quantum teleportation, a criterion that can be used to judge whether a four-qubit quantum state can be regarded as quantum channel or not in bidirectional teleportation is suggested and a theoretical scheme of bidirectional teleportation via four-qubit state as the quantum channel is proposed. In accordance with this criterion we give a general method of selecting quantum channel in bidirectional teleportation, which is determined by the channel parameter matrix R in the Bell basis measurement. This general method provide a theoretical basis for quantum channel selection in bidirectional quantum teleportation experiments.     

Faithful Multihop Two-Qubit Transmission Through GHZ-GHZ Channel

Quantum teleportation is an important method for transmitting quantum states between two quantum communication nodes. In this paper, we propose a low-latency quantum communication scheme based on Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state. To implement two-qubit transmission, the source and all intermediate nodes perform quantum measurements simultaneously and the measurement results are transmitted to the destination node through classical channel independently. The destination node performs appropriate unitary operation on its particles to recover the original two-qubit state based on received measurement results. Our scheme effectively reduces the end-to-end quantum communication delay.

Steady-state teleportation fidelity and Bell nonlocality in dissipative environments

We investigate quantum teleportation and Bell nonlocality for two channel qubits coupled via the Heisenberg interaction and subject to two independent dissipative environments. Compared with the case of two uncoupled qubits, it is shown that the interaction Hamiltonian is beneficial for enhancing the teleportation fidelity and Bell nonlocality, and remarkably, it can also be used to create nonclassical teleportation fidelity and Bell nonlocality even from the initial product states. Moreover, the interaction Hamiltonian guarantees the generation of steady-state nonclassical teleportation fidelity, which is independent of the initial state and therefore one can take any state as the initial channel state.     

A Novel Scheme for Quantum Teleportation of N-Particle Generalized Bell-Type States Using Minimal Entanglement Resources

In this paper, we present an efficient scheme for the teleportation of an arbitrary N-particle generalized Bell-type state using a single Bell pair as entanglement channel. For odd and even N-particle states the scheme slightly differs and it is discussed in detail for the simplest cases, 3 and 4 particle states. Further, we have compared the quantum cost of our scheme with other teleportation schemes which use a single Bell pair as entanglement channel.

     

Quantum Teleportation Under Different Collective Noise Environment

We investigate that the average fidelity of the standard quantum teleportation communication protocol when the quantum channel is affected by different local collective noise environments frequently encountered in real quantum communication protocol. We show that the quantum teleportation efficiency can be enhanced when the noise is unavoidable by choose the fit Bell state as the quantum channel, especially we can get perfect quantum teleportation efficiency under the local collective Pauli σ_y noise environment. Our work can shed some light on the application of practical standard quantum teleportation communication protocol.

     

Probabilistic teleportation of an unknown N-atom state using a two-atom nonmaximally entangled state in cavity QED

We present a scheme for realizing probabilistic teleportation of an unknown N-atom state via cavity QED. This scheme requires only a nonmaximally entangled pair to be used as a quantum channel, so the requirement of entanglement is reduced. In addition, our scheme does not involve the Bell-state measurement and is insensitive to the cavity decay, which is important from the experimental point of view. If the quantum channel is a two-atom maximally entangled state, teleportation of an unknown N-atom state can be realized by a simpler scheme via cavity QED.     

Probabilistic Teleportation of an Arbitrary Three-Level Two-Particle State and Classical Communication Cost

We propose a scheme to probabilistically teleport an unknown arbitrary three-level two-particle state by using two partial entangled two-particle states of three-level as the quantum channel. The classical communication cost required in the ideal probabilistic teleportation process is also calculated. This scheme can be directly generalized to teleport an unknown and arbitrary three-level K-particle state by using K partial entangled two-particle states of three-level as the quantum channel.

Short-Distance Teleportation of an Arbitrary Two-Qubit State Via a Bell State

We propose a scheme for teleportation of an arbitrary two-qubit state by using a Bell state as the quantum channel working together with an auxiliary qubit. Our scheme needs less entanglement resource, but at the cost of shortening teleportation distance. This is because that in order to successfully recover the teleported state, both sender and receiver need to implement quantum-gate operations on the shared auxiliary qubit. So, the auxiliary qubit must be close to both sender and receiver. Otherwise, the sender and receiver cannot carry out quantum-gate operations on it. Thus, our scheme is invalid for long-distance teleportation. But for short-distance teleportation, our scheme is an optimal choice because it requires less entanglement resource. From a practical point of view, our scheme is very promising for application in quantum teleportation on chip.

Circular Controlled Quantum Teleportation by a Genuine Seven-qubit Entangled State

A scheme of circular controlled quantum teleportation, which is a novel version of bidirectional controlled quantum teleportation, is proposed using a specific genuine seven-qubit entangled state as quantum channel, and then it is generalized to the scene with a general genuine seven-qubit entangled state as channel. This means that with the control of the supervisor Daniel while Alice teleportates an unknown qubit state to Bob, Bob can also teleportate an unknown qubit state to Charlie and Charlie can also teleportate an unknown qubit state to Alice circularly, simultaneously. Compared with the BCQT schemes proposed before, the intrinsic efficiency of our scheme is optimal.

     

Quantum Cloning of an Unknown 2-Atom State via Entangled Cluster States

This paper presented a scheme for cloning a 2-atom state in the QED cavity with the help of Victor who is the state’s preparer. The cloning scheme has two steps. In the first step, the scheme requires probabilistic teleportation of a 2-atom state that is unknown in advance, and uses a 4-atom cluster state as quantum channel. In the second step, perfect copies of the 2-atom entangled state may be realized with the assistance of Victor. The finding is that our scheme has two outstanding advantages: it is not sensitive to the cavity decay, and Bell state is easy to identify.
