Joint remote preparation of an arbitrary three-qubit state

In this paper, by constructing some useful measurement bases, we first show that two senders can jointly prepare a three-qubit state of complex coefficients to a remote receiver via the shared three GHZ states. Then, the success probability can be improved by using the permutation group to classify the preparation state. Furthermore, under some different measurement bases, we propose another scheme to jointly prepare a three-qubit state of real coefficients with less restrictions. Finally, the present schemes are extended to multi-sender, and the classical communication costs of all the schemes are also calculated.     

Joint remote state preparation of arbitrary two-qubit state with six-qubit state

We present a novelty scheme for joint remote preparation of an arbitrary two-qubit state in a probabilistic manner from a spatially separated multi-sender to one receiver. The probability of success regarding this preparation scheme is calculated in both general and some particular cases. Our results show that in general such remote state preparation can be realized with a probability of 1/4. But in several special cases, the probability of success can be improved to 1/2 or even 1.     

Controlled remote preparation of an arbitrary four-qubit cluster-type state

Two schemes are proposed to realize the controlled remote preparation of an arbitrary four-qubit cluster-type state via a partially entangled channel. We construct ingenious measurement bases at the sender's and the controller's locations, which play a decisive role in the proposed schemes. The success probabilities can reach 50% and 100%, respectively. Compared with the previous proposals, the success probabilities are independent of the coefficients of the entangled channel.     

Deterministic remote state preparation of arbitrary three-qubit state through noisy cluster-GHZ channel

We propose a novel scheme for remote state preparation of an arbitrary three-qubit state with unit success probability, utilizing a nine-qubit cluster-GHZ state without introducing auxiliary qubits. Furthermore, we proceed to investigate the effects of different quantum noises (e.g., amplitude-damping, phase-damping, bit-flip and phase-flip noises) on the systems. The fidelity results of three-qubit target state are presented, which are usually used to illustrate how close the output state is to the target state. To compare the different effects between the four common types of quantum noises, the fidelities under one specific identical target state are also calculated and discussed. It is found that the fidelity of the phase-flip noisy channel drops the fastest through the four types of noisy channels, while the fidelity is found to always maintain at 1 in bit-flip noisy channel.     

Determinate joint remote preparation of an arbitrary W-class quantum state

A novel determinate joint remote preparation scheme of an arbitrary W-class quantum state is proposed to improve the probability of successful preparation. The presented scheme is realized through orthogonal projective measurement of the Hadamard transferred basis, which converts a global measurement to several local measurements. Thus orthogonal projective measurement of the Hadamard transferred basis enables quantum information to be transmitted from different sources simultaneously, which is a breakthrough for quantum network node processing. Finally, analysis shows the feasibility and validity of the proposed method, with a 100% probability of successful preparation.     

Deterministic joint remote state preparation of arbitrary two-and three-qubit states

We propose a novel deterministic protocol that two senders are capable of remotely preparing arbitrary two-and three-qubit states for a remote receiver using EPR pairs and GHZ state as the quantum channel.Compared with the existing deterministic protocols [An et al.2011 Phys.Lett.A 375 3570 and Chen et al.2012 J.Phys.A:Math.Theor.45 055303],the quantum resources and classical information in our scheme are decreased,and the whole operation process is simplified.     

Deterministic joint remote state preparation of arbitrary single- and two-qubit states

In this paper, two novel schemes for deterministic joint remote state preparation(JRSP) of arbitrary single- and twoqubit states are proposed. A set of ingenious four-particle partially entangled states are constructed to serve as the quantum channels. In our schemes, two senders and one receiver are involved. Participants collaborate with each other and perform projective measurements on their own particles under an elaborate measurement basis. Based on their measurement results,the receiver can reestablish the target state by means of appropriate local unitary operations deterministically. Unit success probability can be achieved independent of the channel's entanglement degree.     

Economic scheme for remote preparation of an arbitrary five-qubit Brown-type state

A scheme for remotely preparingan arbitrary five-qubit Brown state by using three three-qubit GHZ states as the quantum channel is proposed. It is shown that, after the sender performs two different three-qubit projective measurements, the receiver should introduce two auxiliary qubits and employ suitable C-NOT gates, Toffoli gate and unitary operations on his qubits, the original state can be recovered with unit probability. Compared with the previous scheme, the advantage of the present scheme is that the entanglement resource can be reduced.     

Joint remote preparation of an arbitrary three-qubit state via EPR-type pairs

In this work, we propose a scheme to realize a joint remote preparation of an arbitrary three-qubit state using six EPR-type pairs as the shared quantum resource. By determining the right measurement bases for the preparers and right ancilla-assisted unitary transformation/recovery operations for the receiver, our scheme applies to the most general case when all the coefficients of the state to be prepared and the EPR-type pairs are complex. The total success probability is found to be dependent only on the “smaller” coefficients of the EPR-type pairs shared between the receiver and one of the preparers.     

Joint remote preparation of an arbitrary five-qubit Brown state via non-maximally entangled channels

We firstly present a novel scheme for deterministic joint remote state preparation of an arbitrary five-qubit Brown state using four Greenberg–Horme–Zeilinger(GHZ)entangled states as the quantum channel.The success probability of this scheme is up to 1,which is superior to the existing ones.Moreover,the scheme is extended to the generalized case where three-qubit and four-qubit non-maximally entangled states are taken as the quantum channel.We simultaneously employ two common methods to reconstruct the desired state.By comparing these two methods,we draw a conclusion that the first is superior to the second-optimal positive operator-valued measure only taking into account the number of auxiliary particles and the success probability.     

Remote state preparation

Quantum teleportation uses prior entanglement and forward classical communication to transmit one instance of an unknown quantum state. Remote state preparation (RSP) has the same goal, but the sender knows classically what state is to be transmitted. We show that the asymptotic classical communication cost of RSP is one bit per qubit--half that of teleportation--and even less when transmitting part of a known entangled state. We explore the tradeoff between entanglement and classical communication required for RSP, and discuss RSP capacities of general quantum channels.     

Deterministic joint remote preparation of an arbitrary two-qubit state in the presence of noise

Using two tripartite Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger （GHZ） states as the shared channels, we investigate the noise effects on the deterministic joint remote preparation of an arbitrary two-qubit state. By unitary matrix decomposition procedure, we first construct the quantum logic circuit of the deterministic joint remote state preparation protocol. Then, we analytically derive the fidelity and the average fidelity for the deterministic joint remote preparation of an arbitrary two- qubit state and of four types of special two-qubit states under the influence of the Pauli noises. It is found that the fidelity depends on the noise types, the qubit-environment coupling strength, and the state to be remotely prepared. Moreover, even if the two GHZ channels are subject to the same environmental noises, the average fidelities for remotely preparing different two-qubit states display different time evolution behaviors. The remote preparation of the identical two-qubit states also shows that the average fidelities affected by different noisy environments exhibit different evolution actions.     

Oblivious remote state preparation

We characterize the class of remote state preparation (RSP) protocols that use only forward classical communication and entanglement, deterministically prepare an exact copy of a general state, and do so obliviously-without leaking further information about the state to the receiver. We prove that any such protocol can be modified to require from the sender only a single specimen of the state, without increasing the classical communication cost. This implies Lo's conjectured lower bound on the cost for these protocols. We relate our RSP protocols to the private quantum channels and establish a one-to-one correspondence between them.     

Optimal remote state preparation

We prove that it is possible to remotely prepare an ensemble of noncommuting mixed states using communication equal to the Holevo information for this ensemble. This remote preparation scheme may be used to convert between different ensembles of mixed states in an asymptotically lossless way, analogous to concentration and dilution for entanglement.     

Remote preparation of arbitrary time-encoded single-photon ebits

We propose and experimentally verify a novel method for the remote preparation of entangled bits (ebits) made of a single photon coherently delocalized in two well-separated temporal modes. The proposed scheme represents a remotely tunable source for tailoring arbitrary ebits, whether maximally or nonmaximally entangled, which is highly desirable for applications in quantum information technology. The remotely prepared ebit is studied by performing homodyne tomography with an ultrafast balanced homodyne detection scheme recently developed in our laboratory.     

Deterministic joint remote preparation of arbitrary multi-qudit states

In this Letter, we put forward a new nontrivial three-step strategy for joint remote preparation of arbitrary two-qudit states (JRSP) in a deterministic manner from a spatially separated multi-sender to one receiver. The scheme is then extended to the arbitrary multi-qudit case. In our schemes, various partially entangled GHZ-like states with arbitrary complex parameters are used as the quantum channels. It overcomes state preparation failure leading to the loss of valuable quantum channel resource and ensures the prepared data available for the remote terminals under extreme conditions such as limited number of quantum channels and limited quantum information processing technologies.     

Deterministic joint remote state preparation

We put forward a new nontrivial three-step strategy to execute joint remote state preparation via Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen pairs deterministically. At variance with all existing protocols, in ours the receiver contributes actively in both preparation and reconstruction steps, although he knows nothing about the quantum state to be prepared.     

Remote state preparation with classically correlated state

We experimentally demonstrate the first remote state preparation with no shared entanglement, employing classically correlated state (CCS). CCS is verified with quantum state tomography process, and the fidelity is 0.99. The states chosen from a special diameter of the Poincaré sphere can be remotely prepared with unit efficiency at the cost of one cbit, if one classically correlated state is shared. The scheme can remotely prepare the other states on the Poincaré sphere with other CCS using the same experimental setup. The efficiency is 50% in general.     

Non-Markovian effect on remote state preparation

Memory effect of non-Markovian dynamics in open quantum systems is often believed to be beneficial for quantum information processing. In this work, we employ an experimentally controllable two-photon open system, with one photon experiencing a dephasing environment and the other being free from noise, to show that non-Markovian effect may also have a negative impact on quantum tasks such as remote state preparation: For a certain period of controlled time interval, stronger non-Markovian effect yields lower fidelity of remote state preparation, as opposed to the common wisdom that more information leads to better performance. As a comparison, a positive non-Markovian effect on the RSP fidelity with another typical non-Markovian noise is analyzed. Consequently, the observed dual character of non-Markovian effect will be of great importance in the field of open systems engineering.
