Quantum teleportation

Diagram of the Basic Components Used for Quantum Teleportation

In matters relating to quantum information theory, it is convenient to work with the simplest possible unit of information: the two-state system of the qubit. The qubit functions as the quantum analog of the classic computational part, the bit, as it can have a measurement value of both a 0 and a 1, whereas the classical bit can only be measured as a 0 or a 1. The quantum two-state system seeks to transfer quantum information from one location to another location without losing the information and preserving the quality of this information. This process involves moving the information between carriers and not movement of the actual carriers, similar to the traditional process of communications, as two parties remain stationary while the information (digital media, voice, text, etc.) is being transferred, contrary to the implications of the word "teleport". The main components needed for teleportation include a sender, the information (a qubit), a traditional channel, a quantum channel, and a receiver. The sender does not need to know the exact contents of the information that is being sent. The measurement postulate of quantum mechanics – when a measurement is made upon a quantum state, any subsequent measurements will "collapse" or that the observed state will be lost – creates an imposition within teleportation: if a sender makes a measurement on their information, the state could collapse when the receiver obtains the information since the state has changed from when the sender made the initial measurement.

For actual teleportation, it is required that an entangled quantum state be created for the qubit to be transferred. Entanglement imposes statistical correlations between otherwise distinct physical systems by creating or placing two or more separate particles into a single, shared quantum state. This intermediate state contains two particles whose quantum states are related to each other: measuring one particle's state provides information about the measurement of the other particle's state. These correlations hold even when measurements are chosen and performed independently, out of causal contact from one another, as verified in Bell test experiments. Thus, an observation resulting from a measurement choice made at one point in spacetime seems to instantaneously affect outcomes in another region, even though light hasn't yet had time to travel the distance, a conclusion seemingly at odds with special relativity. This is known as the EPR paradox. However, such correlations can never be used to transmit any information faster than the speed of light, a statement encapsulated in the no-communication theorem. Thus, teleportation as a whole can never be superluminal, as a qubit cannot be reconstructed until the accompanying classical information arrives.

The sender will then combine the particle, of which the information is teleported, with one of the entangled particles, causing a change of the overall entangled quantum state. Of this changed state, the particles in Alice's possession are then sent to an analyzer that will measure the change of the entangled state. The "change" measurement will allow the receiver to recreate the original information that the sender had, resulting in the information being teleported or carried between two people that have different locations. Since the initial quantum information is "destroyed" as it becomes part of the entanglement state, the no-cloning theorem is maintained as the information is recreated from the entangled state and not copied during teleportation.

The quantum channel is the communication mechanism that is used for all quantum information transmission and is the channel used for teleportation (relationship of quantum channel to traditional communication channel is akin to the qubit being the quantum analog of the classical bit). However, in addition to the quantum channel, a traditional channel must also be used to accompany a qubit to "preserve" the quantum information. When the change measurement between the original qubit and the entangled particle is made, the measurement result must be carried by a traditional channel so that the quantum information can be reconstructed and the receiver can get the original information. Because of this need for the traditional channel, the speed of teleportation can be no faster than the speed of light (hence the no-communication theorem is not violated). The main advantage with this is that Bell states can be shared using photons from lasers, making teleportation achievable through open space, as there is no need to send information through physical cables or optical fibers.

Quantum states can be encoded in various degrees of freedom of atoms. For example, qubits can be encoded in the degrees of freedom of electrons surrounding the atomic nucleus or in the degrees of freedom of the nucleus itself. Thus, performing this kind of teleportation requires a stock of atoms at the receiving site, available for having qubits imprinted on them.[7]

As of 2015, the quantum states of single photons, photon modes, single atoms, atomic ensembles, defect centers in solids, single electrons, and superconducting circuits have been employed as information bearers.[8]

Understanding quantum teleportation requires a good grounding in finite-dimensional linear algebra, Hilbert spaces and projection matrixes. A qubit is described using a two-dimensional complex number-valued vector space (a Hilbert space), which are the primary basis for the formal manipulations given below. A working knowledge of quantum mechanics is not absolutely required to understand the mathematics of quantum teleportation, although without such acquaintance, the deeper meaning of the equations may remain quite mysterious.

The resources required for quantum teleportation are a communication channel capable of transmitting two classical bits, a means of generating an entangled Bell state of qubits and distributing to two different locations, performing a Bell measurement on one of the Bell state qubits, and manipulating the quantum state of the other qubit from the pair. Of course, there must also be some input qubit (in the quantum state ${\displaystyle |\phi \rangle }$) to be teleported. The protocol is then as follows:

1. A Bell state is generated with one qubit sent to location A and the other sent to location B.
2. A Bell measurement of the Bell state qubit and the qubit to be teleported (${\displaystyle |\phi \rangle }$ ) is performed at location A. This yields one of four measurement outcomes which can be encoded in two classical bits of information. Both qubits at location A are then discarded.
3. Using the classical channel, the two bits are sent from A to B. (This is the only potentially time-consuming step after step 1 since information transfer is limited by the speed of light.)
4. As a result of the measurement performed at location A, the Bell state qubit at location B is in one of four possible states. Of these four possible states, one is identical to the original quantum state ${\displaystyle |\phi \rangle }$ , and the other three are closely related. The identity of the state actually obtained is encoded in two classical bits and sent to location B. The Bell state qubit at location B is then modified in one of three ways, or not at all, which results in a qubit identical to ${\displaystyle |\phi \rangle }$, the state of the qubit that was chosen for teleportation.

It is worth noticing that the above protocol assumes that the qubits are individually addressable, meaning that the qubits are distinguishable and physically labeled. However, there can be situations where two identical qubits are indistinguishable due to the spatial overlap of their wave functions. Under this condition, the qubits cannot be individually controlled or measured. Nevertheless, a teleportation protocol analogous to that described above can still be (conditionally) implemented by exploiting two independently prepared qubits, with no need of an initial Bell state. This can be made by addressing the internal degrees of freedom of the qubits (e.g., spins or polarisations) by spatially localized measurements performed in separated regions A and B where the two spatially overlapping, indistinguishable qubits can be found.[9] This theoretical prediction has been then verified experimentally via polarized photons in a quantum optical setup.[10]

Work in 1998 verified the initial predictions,[2] and the distance of teleportation was increased in August 2004 to 600 meters, using optical fiber.[11] Subsequently, the record distance for quantum teleportation has been gradually increased to 16 kilometres (9.9 mi),[12] then to 97 km (60 mi),[13] and is now 143 km (89 mi), set in open air experiments in the Canary Islands, done between the two astronomical observatories of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias.[13] There has been a recent record set (as of September 2015) using superconducting nanowire detectors that reached the distance of 102 km (63 mi) over optical fiber.[14] For material systems, the record distance is 21 metres (69 ft).[15]

A variant of teleportation called "open-destination" teleportation, with receivers located at multiple locations, was demonstrated in 2004 using five-photon entanglement.[16] Teleportation of a composite state of two single qubits has also been realized.[17] In April 2011, experimenters reported that they had demonstrated teleportation of wave packets of light up to a bandwidth of 10 MHz while preserving strongly nonclassical superposition states.[18][19] In August 2013, the achievement of "fully deterministic" quantum teleportation, using a hybrid technique, was reported.[20] On 29 May 2014, scientists announced a reliable way of transferring data by quantum teleportation. Quantum teleportation of data had been done before but with highly unreliable methods.[21][22] On 26 February 2015, scientists at the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei, led by Chao-yang Lu and Jian-Wei Pan carried out the first experiment teleporting multiple degrees of freedom of a quantum particle. They managed to teleport the quantum information from ensemble of rubidium atoms to another ensemble of rubidium atoms over a distance of 150 metres (490 ft) using entangled photons.[23][24][25] In 2016, researchers demonstrated quantum teleportation with two independent sources which are separated by 6.5 km (4.0 mi) in Hefei optical fiber network.[26] In September 2016, researchers at the University of Calgary demonstrated quantum teleportation over the Calgary metropolitan fiber network over a distance of 6.2 km (3.9 mi).[27] In December 2020, as part of the INQNET collaboration, researchers achieved quantum teleportation over a total distance of 44 km (27.3 mi) with fidelities exceeding 90%.[28][29]

Researchers have also successfully used quantum teleportation to transmit information between clouds of gas atoms, notable because the clouds of gas are macroscopic atomic ensembles.[30][31]

It is also possible to teleport logical operations, see quantum gate teleportation. In 2018, physicists at Yale demonstrated a deterministic teleported CNOT operation between logically encoded qubits.[32]

First proposed theoretically in 1993, quantum teleportation has since been demonstrated in many different guises. It has been carried out using two-level states of a single photon, a single atom and a trapped ion – among other quantum objects – and also using two photons. In 1997, two groups experimentally achieved quantum teleportation. The first group, led by Sandu Popescu, was based out Italy. An experimental group led by Anton Zeilinger followed a few months later.

The results obtained from experiments done by Popescu's group concluded that classical channels alone could not replicate the teleportation of linearly polarized state and an elliptically polarized state. The Bell state measurement distinguished between the four Bell states, which can allow for a 100% success rate of teleportation, in an ideal representation.[2]

Zeilinger's group produced a pair of entangled photons by implementing the process of parametric down-conversion. In order to ensure that the two photons cannot be distinguished by their arrival times, the photons were generated using a pulsed pump beam. The photons were then sent through narrow-bandwidth filters to produce a coherence time that is much longer than the length of the pump pulse. They then used a two-photon interferometry for analyzing the entanglement so that the quantum property could be recognized when it is transferred from one photon to the other.[3]

Photon 1 was polarized at 45° in the first experiment conducted by Zeilinger's group. Quantum teleportation is verified when both photons are detected in the ${\displaystyle |\Psi ^{-}\rangle _{12}}$ state, which has a probability of 25%. Two detectors, f1 and f2, are placed behind the beam splitter, and recording the coincidence will identify the ${\displaystyle |\Psi ^{-}\rangle _{12}}$ state. If there is a coincidence between detectors f1 and f2, then photon 3 is predicted to be polarized at a 45° angle. Photon 3 is passed through a polarizing beam splitter that selects +45° and -45° polarization. If quantum teleportation has happened, only detector d2, which is at the +45° output, will register a detection. Detector d1, located at the -45° output, will not detect a photon. If there is a coincidence between d2f1f2, with the 45° analysis, and a lack of a d1f1f2 coincidence, with -45° analysis, it is proof that the information from the polarized photon 1 has been teleported to photon 3 using quantum teleportation.[3]

There are a variety of ways in which the teleportation protocol can be written mathematically. Some are very compact but abstract, and some are verbose but straightforward and concrete. The presentation below is of the latter form: verbose, but has the benefit of showing each quantum state simply and directly. Later sections review more compact notations.

The teleportation protocol begins with a quantum state or qubit ${\displaystyle |\psi \rangle }$, in Alice's possession, that she wants to convey to Bob. This qubit can be written generally, in bra–ket notation, as:

${\displaystyle |\psi \rangle _{C}=\alpha |0\rangle _{C}+\beta |1\rangle _{C}.}$

The subscript C above is used only to distinguish this state from A and B, below.

Next, the protocol requires that Alice and Bob share a maximally entangled state. This state is fixed in advance, by mutual agreement between Alice and Bob, and can be any one of the four Bell states shown. It does not matter which one.

${\displaystyle |\Phi ^{+}\rangle _{AB}={\frac {1}{\sqrt {2}}}(|0\rangle _{A}\otimes |0\rangle _{B}+|1\rangle _{A}\otimes |1\rangle _{B})}$,

${\displaystyle |\Psi ^{+}\rangle _{AB}={\frac {1}{\sqrt {2}}}(|0\rangle _{A}\otimes |1\rangle _{B}+|1\rangle _{A}\otimes |0\rangle _{B})}$,

${\displaystyle |\Psi ^{-}\rangle _{AB}={\frac {1}{\sqrt {2}}}(|0\rangle _{A}\otimes |1\rangle _{B}-|1\rangle _{A}\otimes |0\rangle _{B})}$.

${\displaystyle |\Phi ^{-}\rangle _{AB}={\frac {1}{\sqrt {2}}}(|0\rangle _{A}\otimes |0\rangle _{B}-|1\rangle _{A}\otimes |1\rangle _{B})}$,

In the following, assume that Alice and Bob share the state ${\displaystyle |\Phi ^{+}\rangle _{AB}.}$ Alice obtains one of the particles in the pair, with the other going to Bob. (This is implemented by preparing the particles together and shooting them to Alice and Bob from a common source.) The subscripts A and B in the entangled state refer to Alice's or Bob's particle.

At this point, Alice has two particles (C, the one she wants to teleport, and A, one of the entangled pair), and Bob has one particle, B. In the total system, the state of these three particles is given by

${\displaystyle |\psi \rangle _{C}\otimes |\Phi ^{+}\rangle _{AB}=(\alpha |0\rangle _{C}+\beta |1\rangle _{C})\otimes {\frac {1}{\sqrt {2}}}(|0\rangle _{A}\otimes |0\rangle _{B}+|1\rangle _{A}\otimes |1\rangle _{B}).}$

Alice will then make a local measurement in the Bell basis (i.e. the four Bell states) on the two particles in her possession. To make the result of her measurement clear, it is best to write the state of Alice's two qubits as superpositions of the Bell basis. This is done by using the following general identities, which are easily verified:

${\displaystyle |0\rangle \otimes |0\rangle ={\frac {1}{\sqrt {2}}}(|\Phi ^{+}\rangle +|\Phi ^{-}\rangle ),}$

${\displaystyle |0\rangle \otimes |1\rangle ={\frac {1}{\sqrt {2}}}(|\Psi ^{+}\rangle +|\Psi ^{-}\rangle ),}$

${\displaystyle |1\rangle \otimes |0\rangle ={\frac {1}{\sqrt {2}}}(|\Psi ^{+}\rangle -|\Psi ^{-}\rangle ),}$

and

${\displaystyle |1\rangle \otimes |1\rangle ={\frac {1}{\sqrt {2}}}(|\Phi ^{+}\rangle -|\Phi ^{-}\rangle ).}$

After expanding the expression for ${\textstyle {\begin{aligned}|&\psi \rangle _{C}\otimes \ |\Phi ^{+}\rangle _{AB}\end{aligned}}}$, one applies these identities to the qubits with A and C subscripts. In particular,

$${\displaystyle \alpha {\frac {1}{\sqrt {2}}}|0\rangle _{C}\otimes |0\rangle _{A}\otimes |0\rangle _{B}=\alpha {\frac {1}{2}}(|\Phi ^{+}\rangle _{CA}+|\Phi ^{-}\rangle _{CA})\otimes |0\rangle _{B},}$$

and the other terms follow similarly. Combining similar terms, the total three particle state of A, B and C together becomes the following four-term superposition:[34]

${\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}|&\psi \rangle _{C}\otimes \ |\Phi ^{+}\rangle _{AB}\ =\\{\frac {1}{2}}{\Big \lbrack }\ &|\Phi ^{+}\rangle _{CA}\otimes (\alpha |0\rangle _{B}+\beta |1\rangle _{B})\ +\ |\Phi ^{-}\rangle _{CA}\otimes (\alpha |0\rangle _{B}-\beta |1\rangle _{B})\\\ +\ &|\Psi ^{+}\rangle _{CA}\otimes (\alpha |1\rangle _{B}+\beta |0\rangle _{B})\ +\ |\Psi ^{-}\rangle _{CA}\otimes (\alpha |1\rangle _{B}-\beta |0\rangle _{B}){\Big \rbrack }.\\\end{aligned}}}$

Note that all three particles are still in the same total state since no operations have been performed. Rather, the above is just a change of basis on Alice's part of the system. This change has moved the entanglement from particles A and B to particles C and A. The actual teleportation occurs when Alice measures her two qubits (C and A) in the Bell basis

A simple quantum circuit that maps one of the four Bell states (the EPR pair in the picture) into one of the four two-qubit computational basis states. The circuit consists of a CNOT gate followed by a Hadamard operation. In the outputs, a and b take on values of 0 or 1.

${\displaystyle |\Phi ^{+}\rangle _{CA},|\Phi ^{-}\rangle _{CA},|\Psi ^{+}\rangle _{CA},|\Psi ^{-}\rangle _{CA}.}$

Equivalently, the measurement may be done in the computational basis, ${\displaystyle \{|0\rangle ,|1\rangle \}}$, by mapping each Bell state uniquely to one of ${\displaystyle \{|0\rangle \otimes |0\rangle ,|0\rangle \otimes |1\rangle ,|1\rangle \otimes |0\rangle ,|1\rangle \otimes |1\rangle \}}$ with the quantum circuit in the figure to the right.

The result of Alice's (local) measurement is a collection of two classical bits (00, 01, 10 or 11) related to one of the following four states (with equal probability of 1/4), after the three-particle state has collapsed into one the states:

• ${\displaystyle |\Phi ^{+}\rangle _{CA}\otimes (\alpha |0\rangle _{B}+\beta |1\rangle _{B})}$
• ${\displaystyle |\Phi ^{-}\rangle _{CA}\otimes (\alpha |0\rangle _{B}-\beta |1\rangle _{B})}$
• ${\displaystyle |\Psi ^{+}\rangle _{CA}\otimes (\alpha |1\rangle _{B}+\beta |0\rangle _{B})}$
• ${\displaystyle |\Psi ^{-}\rangle _{CA}\otimes (\alpha |1\rangle _{B}-\beta |0\rangle _{B})}$

Alice's two particles are now entangled to each other, in one of the four Bell states, and the entanglement originally shared between Alice's and Bob's particles is now broken. Bob's particle takes on one of the four superposition states shown above. Note how Bob's qubit is now in a state that resembles the state to be teleported. The four possible states for Bob's qubit are unitary images of the state to be teleported.

The result of Alice's Bell measurement tells her which of the above four states the system is in. She can now send her result to Bob through a classical channel. Two classical bits can communicate which of the four results she obtained. After Bob receives the message from Alice, he will know which of the four states his particle is in. Using this information, he performs a unitary operation on his particle to transform it to the desired state ${\displaystyle \alpha |0\rangle _{B}+\beta |1\rangle _{B}}$:

• If Alice indicates her result is ${\displaystyle |\Phi ^{+}\rangle _{CA}}$, Bob knows his qubit is already in the desired state and does nothing. This amounts to the trivial unitary operation, the identity operator.
• If the message indicates ${\displaystyle |\Phi ^{-}\rangle _{CA}}$, Bob would send his qubit through the unitary quantum gate given by the Pauli matrix

${\displaystyle \sigma _{3}={\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&-1\end{bmatrix}}}$

to recover the state.

• If Alice's message corresponds to ${\displaystyle |\Psi ^{+}\rangle _{CA}}$, Bob applies the gate

${\displaystyle \sigma _{1}={\begin{bmatrix}0&1\\1&0\end{bmatrix}}}$

to his qubit.

• Finally, for the remaining case, the appropriate gate is given by

${\displaystyle \sigma _{3}\sigma _{1}=-\sigma _{1}\sigma _{3}=i\sigma _{2}={\begin{bmatrix}0&1\\-1&0\end{bmatrix}}.}$

Teleportation is thus achieved. The above-mentioned three gates correspond to rotations of π radians (180°) about appropriate axes (X, Y and Z) in the Bloch sphere picture of a qubit.

Some remarks:

• After this operation, Bob's qubit will take on the state ${\displaystyle |\psi \rangle _{B}=\alpha |0\rangle _{B}+\beta |1\rangle _{B}}$, and Alice's qubit becomes an (undefined) part of an entangled state. Teleportation does not result in the copying of qubits, and hence is consistent with the no-cloning theorem.
• There is no transfer of matter or energy involved. Alice's particle has not been physically moved to Bob; only its state has been transferred. The term "teleportation", coined by Bennett, Brassard, Crépeau, Jozsa, Peres and Wootters, reflects the indistinguishability of quantum mechanical particles.
• For every qubit teleported, Alice needs to send Bob two classical bits of information. These two classical bits do not carry complete information about the qubit being teleported. If an eavesdropper intercepts the two bits, she may know exactly what Bob needs to do in order to recover the desired state. However, this information is useless if she cannot interact with the entangled particle in Bob's possession.

Quantum teleportation in its diagrammatic form.[35] employing Penrose graphical notation.[36] Formally, such a computation takes place in a dagger compact category. This results in the abstract description of quantum teleportation as employed in categorical quantum mechanics.

Quantum circuit representation for teleportation of a quantum state,[37][38] as described above. The circuit consumes the ${\displaystyle |\Phi ^{+}\rangle }$ Bell state and the qubit to teleport as input, and consists of CNOT, Hadamard, two measurements of two qubits, and finally, two gates with classical control: a Pauli X, and a Pauli Z, meaning that if the result from the measurement was ${\displaystyle |1\rangle }$, then the classically controlled Pauli gate is executed. After the circuit has run to completion, the value of ${\displaystyle |\psi \rangle _{C}}$ will have moved to, or teleported to ${\displaystyle |\psi \rangle _{B}}$, and ${\displaystyle |\psi \rangle _{C}}$ will have its value set to either ${\displaystyle |0\rangle }$ or ${\displaystyle |1\rangle }$, depending on the result from the measurement on that qubit.
This circuit can also be used for entanglement swapping, if ${\displaystyle |\psi \rangle _{C}}$ is one of the qubits that make up an entangled state, as described in the text.

There are a variety of different notations in use that describe the teleportation protocol. One common one is by using the notation of quantum gates.

In the above derivation, the unitary transformation that is the change of basis (from the standard product basis into the Bell basis) can be written using quantum gates. Direct calculation shows that this gate is given by

${\displaystyle G=(H\otimes I)\operatorname {CNOT} }$

where H is the one qubit Walsh-Hadamard gate and ${\displaystyle \operatorname {CNOT} }$ is the Controlled NOT gate.

Teleportation can be applied not just to pure states, but also mixed states, that can be regarded as the state of a single subsystem of an entangled pair. The so-called entanglement swapping is a simple and illustrative example.

If Alice and Bob share an entangled pair, and Bob teleports his particle to Carol, then Alice's particle is now entangled with Carol's particle. This situation can also be viewed symmetrically as follows:

Alice and Bob share an entangled pair, and Bob and Carol share a different entangled pair. Now let Bob perform a projective measurement on his two particles in the Bell basis and communicate the result to Carol. These actions are precisely the teleportation protocol described above with Bob's first particle, the one entangled with Alice's particle, as the state to be teleported. When Carol finishes the protocol she now has a particle with the teleported state, that is an entangled state with Alice's particle. Thus, although Alice and Carol never interacted with each other, their particles are now entangled.

A detailed diagrammatic derivation of entanglement swapping has been given by Bob Coecke,[39] presented in terms of categorical quantum mechanics.

The basic teleportation protocol for a qubit described above has been generalized in several directions, in particular regarding the dimension of the system teleported and the number of parties involved (either as sender, controller, or receiver).

In general, mixed states ρ may be transported, and a linear transformation ω applied during teleportation, thus allowing data processing of quantum information. This is one of the foundational building blocks of quantum information processing. This is demonstrated below.

A local explanation of quantum teleportation is put forward by David Deutsch and Patrick Hayden, with respect to the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. Their paper asserts that the two bits that Alice sends Bob contain "locally inaccessible information" resulting in the teleportation of the quantum state. "The ability of quantum information to flow through a classical channel [...], surviving decoherence, is [...] the basis of quantum teleportation."[46]
