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.

Probabilistic and controlled teleportation of tripartite state in a general form and its quantum networks

We discuss a scheme for probabilistic and controlled teleportation of an unknown arbitrary three-particle state by constructing a peculiar non-maximally entangled state as a controlled quantum channel, which is teleported between two sides with the help of the auxiliary particle and the cooperation of the third side （Charlie） as a supervisor. In comparison with some existing schemes, on the receiver＇s side it is easy to have the sender＇s state through operating two uniform unitary transformations in turn. In addition, we also give an efficient quantum network for implementing the new scheme by means of some primitive operations.

A controlled quantum teleportation scheme of an N-particle unknown state via three-particle W1 states

In this paper a controlled quantum teleportation scheme of an N-particle unknown state is proposed when N groups of three-particle W1 states are utilized as quantum channels. The quantum information of N-particle unknown state is transmitted from the sender to the recipient under the control of all supervisors. It can be realized with a certain probability. After the sender makes Bell-state measurements and the supervisors perform the computational basis measurements, the recipient will introduce auxiliary particles and carry out unitary transformations depending on classical information from the sender and the supervisors. Finally, the computational basis measurement will be performed by the recipient to confirm whether the teleportation succeeds or not. The successful completion of the scheme relies on all supervisors＇ cooperation. In addition, the fidelity and security of the scheme are discussed.

Controlled Quantum Teleportation of a One-Particle Unknown State via a Three-Particle Entangled State

A kind of three-particle entangled state is applied as quantum channel of the controlled quantum teleporration of a one-particle unknown state. The one-particle unknown state is transmitted from the sender to the recipient under the control of the supervisor. After the sender makes Bell-state measurement and the supervisor performs von Neumann measurement, the recipient carries out unitary transformation on his own particle depending on classical information from the sender and the supervisor. The teleportation cannot be completed successfully by the recipient if the supervisor does not agree to cooperate. The roles of the recipient and the supervisor may be exchanged in this scheme. The scheme is flexible and feasible because the sequence of manipulation of the sender and the supervisor may be exchanged and only simple unitary transformation is included.

Controlled teleportation of high-dimension quantumstates with generalized Bell-state measurement

In this paper a scheme for controlled teleportation of arbitrary high-dimensional unknown quantum states is proposed by using the generalized Bell-basis measurement and the generalized Hadamard transformation. As two special cases, two schemes of controlled teleportation of an unknown single-qutrit state and an unknown two-qutrit state are investigated in detail. In the first scheme, a maximally entangled three-qutrit state is used as the quantum channel, while in the second scheme, an entangled two-qutrit state and an entangled three-qutrit state are employed as the quantum channels. In these schemes, an unknown qutrit state can be teleported to either one of two receivers, but only one of them can reconstruct the qutrit state with the help of the other. Based on the case of qutrits, a scheme of controlled teleportation of an unknown qudit state is presented.

Controlled Teleportation of Multi-qutrit Quantum Information by Swapping Entanglement

We present a scheme for teleporting multi-qutrit quantum information from a sender to a receiver via the control of many agents in a network. Agents＇s control parameters are obtained via quantum entanglement swapping. In our scheme, Zhang and Man＇s QSS protocol [Phys. Rev. A 72 （2005） 022303] based on Bell-state entanglement swapping is generalized to a qutrit case. Our scheme owns the advantage of having higher code capacity and better security than the work [Commun. Theor. Phys. 44 （2005） 847] on controlled teleportation for multi-qubit.

Controlled Teleportation of Multi-qudit Quantum Information by Entanglement Swapping

In this paper, we present a scheme for teleporting multi-qudit quantum state, from the sender Alice to the receiver Charlie via many controllers Bobs, whose control parameters are obtained using entanglement swapping of maximally d-dimensional EPR pair. In our scheme, Yang＇s qutrit controlled teleportation protocol [Commun. Theor. Phys. 49 （2008） 338] based on Bell-state entanglement swapping is generalized to the qudit case. The scheme of multi-qudit owns the advantage of having higher code capacity and better security than that of multi-qutrit.

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.

Quantum Teleportation via Hybrid Entangled States

And we investigate how to implement controlled phase （CP） gates between atomic internal states and coherent states of cavity field. We also discuss the methods of distinguishing coherent states [±α〉 in a cavity. Finally, a brief discussion about the feasibility of this scheme in experiment is presented.

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.

Teleportation of Two-Particle Entangled State via Cluster State

In this paper, two schemes for teleporting an unknown two-particle entangled state from the sender （Alice） to the receiver （Bob） via a four-particle entangled cluster state are proposed. In these two schemes, the unknown twoparticle entangled state can be teleported perfectly. The successful probabilities and fidelities of the schemes can reach unity.

Scheme for teleportation of an unknown atomic state via a cluster state in cavity QED

This paper proposes an experimentally feasible scheme for teleportation of an unknown two-atom entangled state, where a cluster state is used as the quantum channel. This scheme does not need any joint measurement. In addition, the successful probability and fidelity of teleportation can both reach 1.0. The current scheme can be realized within the current experimental technology.

Controlled remote implementation of quantum operations with high-dimensional systems

We present two protocols for the controlled remote implementation of quantum operations between three-party high-dimensional systems. Firstly, the controlled teleportation of an arbitrary unitary operation by bidirectional quantum state teleportaion （BQST） with high-dimensional systems is considered. Then, instead of using the BQST method, a protocol for controlled remote implementation of partially unknown operations belonging to some restricted sets in high-dimensional systems is proposed. It is shown that, in these protocols, if and only if the controller would like to help the sender with the remote operations, the controlled remote implementation of quantum operations for high-dimensional systems can be completed.

An experimentally feasible scheme for teleportation of an unknown two-atom entangled state is proposed. Our scheme uses a duster state as the quantum channel, where we do not need any joint Bell-state measurement. Moreover the successful probability and fidelity of teleportation can both reach 1.0. The current scheme can be realized within the current experimental technology.

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.

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.

Two-Way Cooperative Quantum Communication with Partial Entanglement Analysis

In this paper, we describe an improved cooperative two-way quantum communication scheme that works in a forward-and-backward fashion. In this scheme, partial entanglement analysis based on five-qubit entangled Brown state allows for the simultaneous exchange of arbitrary unknown states between Alice and Bob （with the help of trusted Charlie）. Security is guaranteed because opposing unknown states are transmitted by performing the suitable recovery operations in a deterministic way or, in the case of irregularities, no results are generated. The current two-way quantum communication scheme can also be extended to transmit arbitrary unknown states. This is done in a probabilistic way by using two-way quantum teleportation based on the generalized Brown-like state.

Perfect quantum controlled teleportation via a novel threeparticle partially entangled channel

Recently Li et al. proposed special partially entangled states serving as quantum channel in quantum controlled teleportation, while there are some limitations in their scheme. Based on that, we present a possible improvement in this paper. We construct a novel three-particle partially entangled state which is suitable for perfect controlled teleportation. A simple quantum circuit is designed to obtain this state. We evaluate quantum controlled teleportation from three points of view： teleportation fidelity, success probability and the controller＇s power. Detailed calculations and simulation analyses show that the constructed state is a suitable channel for controlled teleportation of arbitrary qubits, unit teleportation fidelity and 100% success probability can be achieved. Meanwhile, as long as channel＇s entanglement degree equals to or greater than 3/4, the controller＇s power can be guaranteed.

Controlled quantum perfect teleportation of multiple arbitrary multi-qubit states

We present an efficient controlled quantum perfect teleportation scheme. In our scheme, multiple senders can teleport multiple arbitrary unknown multi-qubit states to a single receiver via a previously shared entanglement state with the help of one or more controllers. Furthermore, our scheme has a very good performance in the measurement and operation complexity, since it only needs to perform Bell state and single-particle measurements and to apply Controlled-Not gate and other single-particle unitary operations. In addition, compared with traditional schemes, our scheme needs less qubits as the quantum resources and exchanges less classical information, and thus obtains higher communication efficiency.
