Quantum Cloning of an Unknown Two-Particle Entangled State with Assistance

We propose a protocol where one can realize quantum cloning of an unknown two-particle entangled state and its orthogonal-complement state with assistance offered by a state preparer. The first stage of the protocol requires usual teleportation using a (or two) four-particle entangled state(s) as quantum channel(s). In the second stage of the protocol, with the assistance (through a two-particle projective measurement) of the preparer, the perfect copies and complement copies of an unknown state can be produced.     

Scheme for Implementing Assisted Cloning of an Unknown Tripartite Entangled State

In this paper, we propose a protocol which can realize quantum cloning of an unknown tripartite entangled state and its orthogonal complement state with assistance from a state preparer. The first stage of the protocol requires usual teleportation via three entangled particle pairs as quantum channel. In the second stage of the protocol, the perfect copies and complement copies of an unknown state can be produced with the assistance (through a tripartite projective measurement) of the state preparer. We also present a scheme for the teleportation by using non-maximally entangled quantum channel. It is shown that the clones and complement clones of the unknown state can be obtained with certain probability in the latter scheme.     

Deterministic Assisted Clone of an Arbitrary Two- and Three-qubit States via Multi-qubit Brown State

We present two schemes for deterministic assisted clone(DAC) of an unknown two- and three-qubit entangled states with assistance via muti-qubit Brown state. In the schemes, the sender wish to teleport an unknown original entangled state which from the state preparer, and then create a perfect copy of the unknown state at her place. The DAC schemes include two stages. The first stage requires teleportation with Bell-state measurements via a five-qubit Brown state(or seven-qubit Brown state) as the quantum channel. In the second stage, to help the sender realize the quantum cloning, the state preparer performs projective measurements on their own particles which from the sender, then the sender can acquire a perfect copy of the unknown state by means of some appropriate unitary operations. Furthermore, the total success probability for assisted cloning a perfect copy of the unknown state can reach 1 in our schemes.     

Deterministic Clone of an Unknown N-Qubit Entangled State with Assistance

We propose a deterministic scheme to realize assisted-clone of an unknown N(≥3)-qubit entangled state. The first stage of the protocol requires teleportation via maximal entanglement as the quantum channel. In the second stage of the protocol, a novel set of mutually orthogonal basis vectors are constructed. With the assistance of the preparer through an N-particle projective measurement under this basis, the perfect copy of an original state can be produced. Comparing with the previous protocols which produce the unknown state and its orthogonal complement state at the site of the sender, our scheme generates the unknown state deterministically.     

未知EPR态及其正交态的概率复制

纠缠态在量子计算和量子信息中起着十分重要的作用。利用部分纠缠态作为资源提出了一种方案,根据该方案,能够以某些概率成功地复制出未知的EPR(Einstein Podolsky Rosen)态和它的正交态,使得通信双方都能够获得要传送的EPR态。方案的第一步是采用部分纠缠态作为量子信道去实现EPR态的隐形传态。根据量子不可克隆定理,输入态在发送方受到破坏。方案的第二步通过引入一个辅助量子位,发送者Alice在态的配制者Victor的帮助下,将以联合概率成功地获得未知EPR态和它的正交态。从而实现了量子态的重建。

This paper proposes a scheme where one can realize quantum cloning of an unknown two-atom entangled state with assistance of a state preparer in cavity QED. The first stage of the scheme requires usual teleportation. In the second stage of the scheme, with the assistance of the preparer, the perfect copies of an unknown atomic entangled state can be produced.     

Assisted Cloning and Orthogonal Complementing of an Arbitrary Unknown Two-Qubit State with χ-Type Entangled States

We propose a scheme for cloning an arbitrary unknown two-qubit state and its orthogonal complement state with the assistance from the state preparer. Our scheme includes two stages. The first stage requires a quantum teleportation process, in which an arbitrary unknown two-qubit state can be deterministically teleported from the sender to the receiver with χ-type entangled states as the quantum channel. In the second stage, with the assistance of the state preparer, either a perfect copy or an orthogonal complement state of an arbitrary unknown two-qubit state can be obtained with a certain probability.     

Reestablishment of an Unknown State and Its Orthogonal Complement State with Assistance

In this paper, we propose a protocol where one can realize reestablishment of an unknown state and its orthogonal complement state with a certain probability. In the first stage of the protocol, teleportation is performed between Alice (a sender) and Bob (a receiver) through a nonmaximally entangled quantum channel. In the process of teleportation, Alice performs nonmaximally entangled state measurement. In the second stage of the protocol, Victor(a state preparer) disentangles leftover nonmaximally entangled states by a single-particle measurement. With the assistance of Victor Alice can reestablish the original state or produce its orthogonal state.

With the assistance of Victor Alice can reestablish the original state or produce its orthogonal state.     

Deterministic assisted clone of an unknown four-particle entangled cluster-type state

Two deterministic schemes are proposed to realize the assisted clone of an unknown four-particle entangled cluster- type state. The schemes include two stages. The first stage requires teleportation via maximal entanglement as the quantum channel. In the second stages of the protocols, two novel sets of mutually orthogonal basis vectors are constructed, With the assistance of the preparer through a four-particle or two-step two-particle projective measurement under these bases, the perfect copy of an original state can be produced. Comparing with the previous protocols which produce the unknown state and its orthogonal complement state at the site of the sender, the proposed schemes generate the unknown state deterministically.     

Scheme for Cloning an Unknown Entangled State with Assistance via Non-maximally Entangled Cluster States

We propose a scheme for cloning unknown two-particle entangled state and its orthogonal complement state with assistance from a state preparer. Two stages were included in this scheme. The first stage requires usual teleportation by using a one-dimensional non-maximally four-particle cluster state as quantum channel, after Alice’s (the state sender) Bell measurement, Bob (the state receiver) can get the original state with certain probability. In the second stage, after having received Victor’s (the state preparer) classical message, the perfect copies and complement copies of an unknown state can be produced in Alice’s place, the probability of Alice to get the original state or its orthogonal complement state are calculated. Assisted cloning of an arbitrary unknown two-particle entangled state is discussed in the latter scheme.     

An Economical Scheme for Cloning an Unknown M-Qudit Equatorial-Like State with Assistance

We propose a scheme to realize quantum cloning of an unknown M-qudit equatorial-like entangled state. The first stage of the protocol requires teleportation. After the teleportation is accomplished, the receiver can reestablish the original state. In the second stage of the protocol, with the assistance （through a single-particle projective measurement） of the preparer, the perfect copy of an original state can be produced at the site of the sender. Our scheme requires a single maximally entangled qudit pair as the quantum channel and three dits classical communication. The scheme is feasible at the expense of consuming local resources which include M - 1 ancillary qudits introduced by the receiver and additional bi-qudit operations. Moreover, we construct a sort of unitary transformations which ensure ancillary qudits are not necessarily introduced by the sender. Comparing to the previous protocols, the proposed protocol is economical due to that the cost of both quantum nonlocal resources and classical communication is lowest.     

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.     

Optimal Conclusive Teleportation of an Arbitrary d-Dimensional N-Particle Unknown State via a Partially Entangled Quantum Channel

In the paper we generalize the standard teleportation to the conclusive teleportation case which can teleportan arbitrary d-dimensional N-particle unknown state via the partially entangled quantum channel. We show that onlyif the quantum channel satisfies a constraint condition can the most general d-dimensional N-particle unknown state beperfect conclusively teleported. We also present a method for optimal conclusively teleportation of the N-particle statesand for constructing the joint POVM which can discern the quantum states on the sender's (Alice's) side. Two typicalexamples are given so that one can see how our method works.     

Deterministic Joint Assisted Cloning of Unknown Two-Qubit Entangled States

We present two schemes for perfect cloning unknown two-qubit and general two-qubit entangled states with assistance from two state preparers, respectively. In the schemes, the sender wish to teleport an unknown two-qubit (or general two-qubit) entangled state which from two state preparers to a remote receiver, and then create a perfect copy of the unknown state at her place. The schemes include two stages. The first stage of the schemes requires usual teleportation. In the second stage, to help the sender realize the quantum cloning, two state preparers perform two-qubit projective measurements on their own qubits which from the sender, then the sender can acquire a perfect copy of the unknown state. To complete the assisted cloning schemes, several novel sets of mutually orthogonal basis vectors are introduced. It is shown that, only if two state preparers collaborate with each other, and perform projective measurements under suitable measuring basis on their own qubit respectively, the sender can create a copy of the unknown state by means of some appropriate unitary operations. The advantage of the present schemes is that the total success probability for assisted cloning a perfect copy of the unknown state can reach 1.     

A Quantum Protocol for Millionaire Problem with Continuous Variables

In this paper, a protocol for quantum millionaire problem with continuous variables is proposed. In the protocol, two participants can compare the values of their fortune with the assistance of a semi-trusted third party （STTP）. Only EPR states are exploited in our protocol while most other protocols exploited d-dimensional Bell states. Two participants are just required to perform single particle operations, which makes our protocol more efficiently. Our protocol can ensure fairness, correctness, security and high efficiency as well. In our protocol, only the two participants can deduce the results of comparisons, others include STTP will learn no information. Our protocol can resist various kinds of attacks from both the outside eavesdroppers and the inside participants, even the STTP.     

Scheme for cloning an unknown single qutrit state with assistance

We propose a scheme for cloning an unknown single qutrit state with assistance. The scheme includes a qutrit-state teleportation at the cloner's site. During this process different states (i.e., the maximally entangled or non-maximally entangled two-qutrit states) as quantum channel are taken into account. After the teleportation, to help the cloner Alice to reestablish the unknown state, the state preparer Victor should perform a single-qutrit measurement and tell her the outcome. In this scheme, the success probability of cloning the original state is determined by the used quantum channel.

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.     

Optimal conclusive teleportation of a d-dimensional two-particle unknown quantum state

A conclusive teleportation protocol of a d-dimensional two-particle unknown quantum state using three d- dimensional particles in an arbitrary pure state is proposed. A sender teleports the unknown state conclusively to a receiver by using the positive operator valued measure（POVM） and introducing an ancillary qudit to perform the generalized Bell basis measurement, We calculate the optimal teleportation fidelity. We also discuss and analyse the reason why the information on the teleported state is lost in the course of the protocol,
