Versatile and controlled quantum teleportation network

A quantum teleportation network involving multiple users is essential for future quantum internet.So far,controlled quantum teleportation has been demonstrated in a three-user network.However,versatile and controlled quantum teleportation network involving more users is in demand,which satisfies different combinations of users for practical requirements.Here we propose a highly versatile and controlled teleportation network that can switch among various combinations of different users.We use a single continuous-variable six-partite Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger(GHZ)state to realize such a task by choosing the different measurement and feedback operations.The controlled teleportation network,which includes one sub-network,two sub-networks and three sub-networks,can be realized for different application of user combinations.Furthermore,the coherent feedback control(CFC)can manipulate and improve the teleportation performance.Our approach is flexible and scalable,and would provide a versatile platform for demonstrations of complex quantum communication and quantum computing protocols.

Quantum state protection from finite-temperature thermal noise with application to controlled quantum teleportation

We propose a quantum state protection scheme via quantum feedforward control combined with environment-assisted measurement to protect arbitrary unknown initial states from the finite-temperature thermal noise(FTTN).The main strategy is to transfer the quantum system to a noise-robust state by weak measurement and feedforward control before the noise channel.Then we apply the environment-assisted measurement on the noise channel to select our desired damped states that are invertible to the initial state.After the noise channel,the reversal operations are applied to restore the initial state.We consider the protection of a single-qubit system,derive the analytical expressions of the success probability and the fidelity,and analyze the influence of key parameters on the performance of the proposed scheme.Unlike previous studies,there is no trade-off between the fidelity and the success probability in the proposed scheme;hence one could maximize them separately.Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can greatly improve the fidelity of the quantum state with a certain success probability.Moreover,the proposed scheme is successfully applied to improving the fidelity of controlled quantum teleportation through two independent FTTN channels from the perspective of protecting the shared entanglement.

Non-Gaussian approach:Withstanding loss and noise of multi-scattering underwater channel for continuous-variable quantum teleportation

Underwater quantum communication plays a crucial role in ensuring secure data transmission and extensible quantum networks in underwater environments.However,the implementation of such applications encounters challenges due to the light attenuation caused by the complicated natural seawater.This paper focuses on employing a model based on seawater chlorophyll-a concentration to characterize the absorption and scattering of light through quantum channels.We propose a multi-scattering random channel model,which demonstrates characteristics of the excess noise in different propagation directions of communication links.Furthermore,we consider the fidelity of a continuous-variable quantum teleportation through seawater channel.To enhance transmission performance,non-Gaussian operations have been conducted.Numerical simulations show that incorporating non-Gaussian operations enables the protocol to achieve higher fidelity transmission or lower fidelity fading rates over longer transmission distances.

Bidirectional multi-qubit quantum teleportation in noisy channel aided with weak measurement

Recently,bidirectional quantum teleportation has attracted a great deal of research attention.However,existing bidirectional teleportation schemes are normally discussed on the basis of perfect quantum environments.In this paper,we first put forward a bidirectional teleportation scheme to transport three-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger(GHZ) states based on controled-not(CNOT) operation and single-qubit measurement.Then,we generalize it to the teleportation of multi-qubit GHZ states.Further,we discuss the influence of quantum noise on our scheme by the example of an amplitude damping channel,then we obtain the fidelity of the teleportation.Finally,we utilize the weak measurement and the corresponding reversing measurement to protect the quantum entanglement,which shows an effective enhancement of the teleportation fidelity.

Controlled quantum teleportation of an unknown single-qutrit state in noisy channels with memory

This paper proposes a three-dimensional(3 D) controlled quantum teleportation scheme for an unknown single-qutrit state. The scheme is first introduced in an ideal environment, and its detailed implementation is described via the transformation of the quantum system. Four types of 3 D-Pauli-like noise corresponding to Weyl operators are created by Kraus operators: trit-flip, t-phase-flip, trit-phase-flip, and t-depolarizing. Then, this scheme is analyzed in terms of four types of noisy channel with memory. For each type of noise, the average fidelity is calculated as a function of memory and noise parameters, which is afterwards compared with classical fidelity. The results demonstrate that for trit-flip and t-depolarizing noises, memory will increase the average fidelity regardless of the noise parameter. However, for t-phase-flip and trit-phaseflip noises, memory may become ineffective in increasing the average fidelity above a certain noise threshold.

Perfect Quantum Teleportation via Bell States

Quantum mechanics shows superiority than classical mechanics in many aspects and quantum entanglement plays an essential role in information processing and some computational tasks such as quantum teleportation(QT).QT was proposed to transmit the unknown states,in which EPR pairs,the entangled states,can be used as quantum channels.In this paper,we present two simple schemes for teleporting a product state of two arbitrary single-particle and an arbitrary two-particle pure entangled state respectively.Alice and Bob have shared an entangle state.Two Bell states are used as quantum channels.Then after Alice measuring her qubits and informing Bob her measurement results,Bob can perfectly reconstruct the original state by performing corresponding unitary operators on his qubits.It shown that a product state of two arbitrary single-particle and an arbitrary two-particle pure entangled state can be teleported perfectly,i.e.the success probabilities of our schemes are both 1.

Probabilistic quantum teleportation of shared quantum secret

Very recently,Lee et al.proposed a secure quantum teleportation protocol to transfer shared quantum secret between multiple parties in a network[Phys.Rev.Lett.124060501(2020)].This quantum network is encoded with a maximally entangled GHZ state.In this paper,we consider a partially entangled GHZ state as the entanglement channel,where it can achieve,probabilistically,unity fidelity transfer of the state.Two kinds of strategies are given.One arises when an auxiliary particle is introduced and a general evolution at any receiver's location is then adopted.The other one involves performing a single generalized Bell-state measurement at the location of any sender.This could allow the receivers to recover the transmitted state with a certain probability,in which only the local Pauli operators are performed,instead of introducing an auxiliary particle.In addition,the successful probability is provided,which is determined by the degree of entanglement of the partially multipartite entangled state.Moreover,the proposed protocol is robust against the bit and phase flip noise.

Information security through controlled quantum teleportation networks

Information security is the backbone of current intelligent systems,such as the Internet of Things(IoT),smart grids,and Machine-to-Machine(M2M)communication.The increasing threat of information security requires new models to ensure the safe transmission of information through such systems.Recently,quantum systems have drawn much attention since they are expected to have a significant impact on the research in information security.This paper proposes a quantum teleportation scheme based on controlled multi-users to ensure the secure information transmission among users.Quantum teleportation is an original key element in a variety of quantum information tasks as well as quantum-based technologies,which plays a pivotal role in the current progress of quantum computing and communication.In the proposed scheme,the sender transmits the information to the receiver under the control of a third user or controller.Here,we show that the efficiency of the proposed scheme depends on the properties of the transmission channel and the honesty of the controller.Compared with various teleportation scheme presented recently in the literature,the most important difference in the proposed scheme is the possibility of suspicion about the honesty of the controller and,consequently,taking proper precautions.

Continuous Variable Quantum Teleportation in Beam-Wandering Modeled Atmosphere Channel

We investigate the continuous variable quantum teleportation in atmosphere channels. The beam-wandering model is employed to analyze the teleportation of the unknown single-mode coherent state. Two methods, one is deterministic by increasing the aperture size of the detecting device and one is probabilistic by entanglement distillation, are proposed to improve the teleportation fidelity in the presence of atmosphere noises.

A Novel Method to against Quantum Noises in Quantum Teleportation

In order to improve the anti-noise performance of quantum teleportation,this paper proposes a novel dynamic quantum anti-noise scheme based on the quantum teleportation which transmits single qubit state using Bell state.Considering that quantum noise only acts on the transmitted qubit,i.e.,the entangled state that Alice and Bob share in advance is affected by the noise,thus affecting the final transmission result.In this paper,a method for dynamically adjusting the shared entangled state according to the noise environment is proposed.By calculating the maximum fidelity of the output state to determine the shared entangled state,which makes the quantum teleportation be affected by the noise as little as possible.This paper calculates the fidelity of teleportation under four kinds of channel noise(amplitude damping,phase damping,bit flip and depolarizing noise).The results show that the scheme has a suppression effect on phase damping,bit flip and depolarizing noise under certain conditions.When the noise intensity is larger,the optimized efficiency is better.

Demonstration of controlled high-dimensional quantum teleportation

Controlled quantum teleportation(CQT), which is regarded as the prelude and backbone for a genuine quantum internet, reveals the cooperation, supervision, and control relationship among the sender, receiver, and controller in the quantum network within the simplest unit. Compared with low-dimensional counterparts, high-dimensional CQT can exhibit larger information transmission capacity and higher superiority of the controller's authority. In this article, we report a proof-of-principle experimental realization of three-dimensional(3D) CQT with a fidelity of 97.4% ± 0.2%. To reduce the complexity of the circuit, we simulate a standard 4-qutrit CQT protocol in a 9×9-dimensional two-photon system with high-quality operations. The corresponding control powers are 48.1% ± 0.2% for teleporting a qutrit and 52.8% ± 0.3% for teleporting a qubit in the experiment, which are both higher than the theoretical value of control power in 2-dimensional CQT protocol(33%). The results fully demonstrate the advantages of high-dimensional multi-partite entangled networks and provide new avenues for constructing complex quantum networks.

Improving the teleportation of quantum Fisher information under non-Markovian environment

Quantum teleportation is designed to send an unknown quantum state between two parties.In the perspective of remote quantum metrology,one may be interested in teleporting the information that is encoded by physical parameters synthesized by quantum Fisher information(QFI).However,the teleported QFI is often destroyed by the unavoidable interaction between the system and the environment.Here,we propose two schemes to improve the teleportation of QFI in the non-Markovian environment.One is to control the quantum system through the operations of weak measurement(WM)and corresponding quantum measurement reversal(QMR).The other is to modify the quantum system based on the monitoring result of the environment(i.e.,environment-assisted measurement,EAM).It is found that,in the non-Markovian environment,these two schemes can improve the teleportation of QFI.By selecting the appropriate strengths of WM and QMR,the environment noise can be completely eliminated and the initial QFI is perfectly teleported.A comprehensive comparison shows that the second scheme not only has a higher probability of success than the first one,but also has a significant improvement of the teleported QFI.

Generation of non-classical states of light and their application in deterministic quantum teleportation

Non-classical states of light,which include squeezed and entangled states of light,are the cornerstone of quantum mechanics and quantum information sciences.To date,non-classical states of light with much higher quality than before are required to develop high-fidelity quantum information processing and high-precision quantum metrology.Squeezed and entangled states with approximately 10 dB noise below the corresponding shot noise limit have been generated using a series of methods,which means that the noise variance reaches a few percent of the vacuum noise.Quantum teleportation,which means transferring an unknown quantum state from a sending station to a distant receiving station supported by entangled states,is the foundation of quantum computation and quantum communication networks.Quantum teleportation in continuous variable regions is unconditional because the entangled states used are always deterministic.The quantum teleportation distance was recently extended to the order of kilometers,which paves the way for constructing a practical quantum information network.

Experimental realization of quantum controlled teleportation of arbitrary two-qubit state via a five-qubit entangled state

Quantum controlled teleportation is the transmission of the quantum state under the supervision of a third party.This paper presents the theoretical and experimental results of an arbitrary two-qubit quantum controlled teleportation scheme,in which the sender Alice only needs to perform two Bell state measurements and the receiver Bob can perform an appropriate unitary operation to reconstruct the arbitrary two-qubit states under the control of the supervisor Charlie.The operation process of the scheme is verified on the IBM quantum experience platform,and the accuracy of the transmitted quantum state is further checked by performing quantum state tomography.Meanwhile,a good fidelity is obtained by using the theoretical density matrix and the experimental density matrix.A sequence of photonic states is introduced to analyze the possible intercept-replace-resend,intercept-measure-resend,and entanglement-measure-resend attacks on this scheme.The results proved that our scheme is highly secure.

Multi-output quantum teleportation of different quantum information with an IBM quantum experience

:Multicast-based quantum teleportation(QT) is extensively used in quantum information transmission where a sender sends different information to multiple receivers at the large distance through the quantum entangled channel. In this paper, we introduce the multi-output QT scheme, which deals with the situation that the synchronous transfer of the arbitrary m-and(m+1)-qubit GHZ-class states from one sender to two receivers. Notably, the requirement about synchronous diverse information transmission is satisfied in our scheme with high efficiency. Moreover, we demonstrate the implementation of the special case of above quantum multi-output teleportation scheme on a sixteenqubit quantum computer and a 32-qubit simulator provided by IBM quantum platform, then discuss it in four types of noisy environments, and calculate the fidelities of the output states.

Quantum gate-assisted teleportation in noisy environments:robustness and fidelity improvement

Quantum teleportation as the key strategy for quantum communication requires pure maximally shared entangled states among quantum nodes.In practice,quantum decoherence drastically degrades the shared entanglement during entanglement distribution,which is a serious challenge for the development of quantum networks.However,most of the decoherence control strategies proposed thus far are either resource-intensive or time-consuming.To overcome this obstacle,we enable noise-resistant teleportation through a noisy channel with a limited number of qubits and without applying time-consuming weak measurements.We apply a quantum gate control unit consisting of a controlled NOT gate and a rotation gate after the original teleportation protocol is accomplished.Furthermore,we demonstrate that a teleportation fidelity of unity is attainable when environment-assisted measurement is added to the proposed teleportation protocol via quantum gates.Moreover,we present an entanglement distribution process by employing the designed quantum gate control unit followed by the deterministic standard teleportation protocol to improve teleportation fidelity by establishing improved shared entanglement.Our performance analysis indicates that the proposed teleportation schemes offer a competitive fidelity and success probability compared with the conventional schemes and a recent weak measurement-based teleportation protocol.

A novel scheme of hybrid entanglement swapping and teleportation using cavity QED in the small and large detuning regimes and quasi-Bell state measurement method

We outline a scheme for entanglement swapping based on cavity QED as well as quasi-Bell state measurement(quasiBSM) methods. The atom–field interaction in the cavity QED method is performed in small and large detuning regimes.We assume two atoms are initially entangled together and, distinctly two cavities are prepared in an entangled coherent–coherent state. In this scheme, we want to transform entanglement to the atom-field system. It is observed that, the fidelities of the swapped entangled state in the quasi-BSM method can be compatible with those obtained in the small and large detuning regimes in the cavity QED method(the condition of this compatibility will be discussed). In addition, in the large detuning regime, the swapped entangled state is obtained by detecting and quasi-BSM approaches. In the continuation,by making use of the atom–field entangled state obtained in both approaches in a large detuning regime, we show that the atomic as well as field states teleportation with complete fidelity can be achieved.

A Controlled Quantum Dialogue Protocol Based on Quantum Walks

In order to enable two parties to exchange their secret information equally,we propose a controlled quantum dialogue protocol based on quantum walks,which implements the equal exchange of secret information between the two parties with the help of the controller TP.The secret information is transmitted via quantum walks,by using this method,the previously required entangled particles do not need to be prepared in the initial phase,and the entangled particles can be produced spontaneously via quantum walks.Furthermore,to resist TP’s dishonest behavior,we use a hash function to verify the correctness of the secret information.The protocol analysis shows that it is safe and reliable facing some attacks,including intercept-measure-resend attack,entanglement attack,dishonest controller’s attack and participant attack.And has a slightly increasing efficiency comparing with the previous protocols.Note that the proposed protocol may be feasible because quantum walks prove to be implemented in different physical systems and experiments.

Controlled Quantum Network Coding Without Loss of Information

Quantum network coding is used to solve the congestion problem in quantum communication,which will promote the transmission efficiency of quantum information and the total throughput of quantum network.We propose a novel controlled quantum network coding without information loss.The effective transmission of quantum states on the butterfly network requires the consent form a third-party controller Charlie.Firstly,two pairs of threeparticle non-maximum entangled states are pre-shared between senders and controller.By adding auxiliary particles and local operations,the senders can predict whether a certain quantum state can be successfully transmitted within the butterfly network based on the Z-{10>,|1>}basis.Secondly,when trans-mission fails upon prediction,the quantum state will not be lost,and it will sill be held by the sender.Subsequently,the controller Charlie re-prepares another three-particle non-maximum entangled state to start a new round.When the predicted transmission is successful,the quantum state can be transmitted successfully within the butterfly network.If the receiver wants to receive the effective quantum state,the quantum measurements from Charlie are needed.Thirdly,when the transmission fails,Charlie does not need to integrate the X-{1+>,1->}basis to measure its own particles,by which quantum resources are saved.Charlie not only controls the effective transmission of quantum states,but also the usage of classical and quantum channels.Finally,the implementation of the quantum circuits,as well as a flow chart and safety analysis of our scheme,is proposed.

Information Field and Physical Noise Generator Entanglement

In experiments with physical noise generators based on electronic or photonic quantum events, significant deviations from random distributions have been repeatedly observed. To explain these effects, intention-based interactions between consciousness and mind with physical random processes have been suggested, either being caused by individual minds or by a proposed global mind. As these explanations involve physically undefined objects such as “mind” and “consciousness”, an explanatory model based on the concept of an information field is given herein, based on the concept of generalized quantum entanglement, including the entanglement of physical noise processes with information fields and an analogy to quantum teleportation. In addition, the non-random hypothesis of using such a physical noise generator in capturing qualitative characteristics of individuals is tested in a randomized controlled study with 100 participants.
