Quantum teleportation using entangled 3-qubit states and the ‘magic bases’

We study quantum teleportation of single qubit information state using 3-qubit general entangled states. We propose a set of 8 GHZ-like states which gives (i) standard quantum teleportation (SQT) involving two parties and 3-qubit Bell state measurement (BSM) and (ii) controlled quantum teleportation (CQT) involving three parties, 2-qubit BSM and an independent measurement on one qubit. Both are obtained with perfect success and fidelity and with no restriction on destinations (receiver) of any of the three entangled qubits. For SQT, for each designated one qubit which is one of a pair going to Alice, we obtain a magic basis containing eight basis states. The eight basis states can be put in two groups of four, such that states of one group are identical with the corresponding GHZ-like states and states of the other differ from the corresponding GHZ-like states by the same phase factor. These basis states can be put in two different groups of four-states each, such that if any entangled state is a superposition of these with coefficients of each group having the same phase, perfect SQT results. Also, for perfect CQT, with each set of given destinations of entangled qubits, we find a different magic basis. If no restriction on destinations of any entangled qubit exists, three magic semi-bases, each with four basis states, are obtained, which lead to perfect SQT. For perfect CQT, with no restriction on entangled qubits, we find four magic quarter-bases, each having two basis states. This gives perfect SQT also. We also obtain expressions for co-concurrences and conditional concurrences.     

Scheme for realizing entanglement concentration via generalized measurements

How to concentrate non-maximally entangled states for quantum communication is a fundamental problem in quantum information. In this paper, we will apply generalized measurements to entanglement concentration of known non-maximally entangled pure states in arbitrary dimensional system. How to design the generalized measurements for the unambiguous discrimination of linearly independent non-orthogonal states is crucial for the concentration of the known non-maximally entangled states. The result shows that, any known non-maximally entangled pure state (for arbitrary dimensional system) can be transformed to the maximally entangled state only by introducing a qubit as ancilla and a joint unitary transformation operation on one of the entangled particles and the ancilla. In addition, because the less entangled state of each fail round will be re-concentrated too, the entanglement waste during the concentration process will be greatly reduced.     

Quantum Discord and Entanglement of Quasi-Werner States Based on Bipartite Entangled Coherent States

Present work is an attempt to compare quantum discord and quantum entanglement of quasi-Werner states formed with the four bipartite entangled coherent states (ECS) used recently for quantum teleportation of a qubit encoded in superposed coherent state. Out of these, the quasi-Werner states based on maximally ECS due to its invariant nature under local operation is independent of measurement basis and mean photon numbers, while for quasi-Werner states based on non-maximally ECS, it depends upon measurement basis as well as on mean photon number. However, for large mean photon numbers since non-maximally ECS becomes almost maximally entangled therefore dependence of quantum discord for non-maximally ECS based quasi-Werner states on the measurement basis disappears.     

Teleportations of Mixed States and Multipartite Quantum States

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. Ira 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 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.     

Quantum multicast schemes of different quantum states via non-maximally entangled channels with multiparty involvement

Due to the unavoidable interaction between the quantum channel and its ambient environment, it is difficult to generate and maintain the maximally entanglement. Thus, the research on multiparty information transmission via non-maximally entangled channels is of academic value and general application. Here, we utilize the non-maximally entangled channels to implement two multiparty remote state preparation schemes for transmitting different quantum information from one sender to two receivers synchronously. The first scheme is adopted to transmit two different four-qubit cluster-type entangled states to two receivers with a certain probability. In order to improve success probabilities of such multicast remote state preparation using non-maximally entangled channels, we put forward the second scheme, which deals with the situation that is a synchronous transfer of an arbitrary single-qubit state and an arbitrary two-qubit state from one sender to two receivers. In particular, its success probability can reach 100% in principle, and independent of the entanglement degree of the shared non-maximally entangled channel. Notably, in the second scheme, the auxiliary particle is not required.     

Controlled Secure Quantum Dialogue Using a Pure Entangled GHZ States

We present a controlled secure quantum dialogue protocol using a non-maximally （pure） entangled Greenberger-Horne-Zeibinger （GHZ） states at first, and then discuss the requirements for a real quantum dialogue. We show that the authorized two users can exchange their secret messages after purifying the non-maximally entangled GHZ states quantum channel unconditionally securely and simultaneously under the control of a third party.     

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%.     

Generalized tripartite scheme for sharing arbitrary 2n-qudit state

Utilizing three non-maximally entangled qutrit pairs as quantum channels, we first propose a generalized tripartite scheme for sharing an arbitrary two-qutrit state with generalized Bell-state measurements. In the scheme if and only if the two recipients collaborate together, they can recover the split qutrit state with the probability determined uniquely by the smallest coefficients of the non-maximally entangled pairs. Afterwards, we further extend the scheme for sharing an arbitrary 2n-qudit state by taking 3n non-maximally entangled qudit pairs as quantum channels. Moreover, the scheme success probability relative to the inherent entanglement in quantum channels and its structure is simply discussed.

Controlled Secure Quantum Communication Using Pure Entangled W Class States

We present a controlled secure quantum communication protocol using non-maximally （pure） entangled W states first, and then discuss the basic requirements for a real quantum communication. We show that the authorized two users can exchange their secret messages with the help of the controller after purifying the non-maximally entangled states quantum channel unconditionally securely and simultaneously. Our quantum communication protocol seems even more feasible within present technologies.     

Probabilistic Remote Preparation of a Three-Particle Entangled State via Two Different Non-maximally Entangled Channels

We present two schemes for preparing remotely a three-particle entangled state by two different quantum channels. In the first scheme, two partial three-particle entangled states are used as the quantum channels, while in the second scheme, three two-particle non-maximally entangled states are employed as the quantum channels. It is shown that the remote state preparation can be successfully realized with certain probability, for both two schemes, if a sender performs some projective measurements and a receiver adopts some appropriate unitary transformations. It is shown also that the successful probabilities of these two schemes are different.

It is secure that the entangled four-particle cluster-type state can be successfully realized at Bob place. Moreover we have also investigated that quantum channel shared by Alice and Bob is composed of four non-maximally entangled states. It is shown that Bob can also reestablish the original state (to be prepared remotely) with certain probability by means of appropriate unitary transformation.     

Deterministic Remote Preparation of a Four-Qubit Cluster-Type Entangled State

We propose a scheme for remotely preparing a four-qubit cluster-type state with complex coefficients by using six EPR pairs as the quantum channel. To complete the remote state preparation scheme, a novel set of four-qubit mutually orthogonal basis vectors has been introduced. It is shown that, after the sender performs two different four-qubit projective measurements, the receiver can reconstruct the original state (to be prepared remotely) with unit successful probability. Moreover, the scheme is also generalized to the case that non-maximally two-qubit entangled states are taken as the quantum channel.

It is shown that by using N pairs of bipartite non-maximally entangled states as the quantum channel and N-particle orthonormal basis projective measurement, the multi-particle remote preparation can be successfully realized with a certain probability.

Probabilistic teleportation of an arbitrary three-particle state

A scheme for teleporting an arbitrary and unknown three-particle state from a sender to either one of two receivers is proposed. The quantum channel is composed of a two-particle non-maximally entangled state and two three-particle non-maximally entangled W states. An arbitrary three-particle state can be perfectly teleported probabilistically if the sender performs three generalized Bell-state measurements and sends to the two receivers the classical result of these measurements, and either one of the two receivers adopts an appropriate unitary transformation conditioned on the suitable measurement outcomes of the other receiver. All kinds of unitary transformations are given in detail.     

Average Fidelity of Teleportation in Quantum Noise Channel

The effects of amplitude damping in quantum noise channels on average fidelity of quantum teleportation are analyzed in Bloch sphere representation for every stage of teleportation. When the quantum channels are varied from maximally entangled states to non-maximally entangled states, it is found that the effects of noise channels on the fidelity are nearly equivalent to each other for strong quantum noise. The degree of damage on the fidelity of non-maximally entangled channels is smaller than that of maximally entangled channels. The average fidelity of values larger than 2/3 may be one representation indirectly showing how much the unavoidable quantum noise is.     

Generalized quantum state sharing of the arbitrary two particles state

This paper has proposed a generalized quantum state sharing protocol of an arbitrary two-particle state using non-maximally GHZ states and generalized Bell state measurement.The sender Alice performs two-particle generalized Bell state measurements on her two particles in the state sharing process and the controller takes measurements on his particles and transfers the quantum information to the receiver with entanglement swapping by the cooperation of the other agents.It is found that the use of nonmaximally entangled state in quantum state sharing has enabled the secure sharing of the quantum state.     

Joint Remote Preparation of a Class of Four-Qubit Cluster-Like States with Tripartite Entanglements and Positive Operator-Valued Measurements

In this work, a novel scheme is proposed to realize joint remote preparation regarding a class of four-qubit cluster-like entangled states based on optimal positive operator-valued measurements. To obtain the preparation of desired states, two tripartite non-maximally entangled states are taken as quantum channels, and devoted to building the robust connections amongst the states’ senders and receiver. It turns out that the present scheme enables one to achieve joint remote state preparation with certain success probability (SP) and unit fidelity. Moreover, several nontrivial issues are discussed, including the improvement of SP and the correlation between SP and the employed channels.
