3. Quantum Teleportation Teleportation: ● ● Teleportation means: a person or object disappear while an exact replica appears in the best case immediately at some distant location. ● ● Bennett et al. (1993) have suggested that it is possible to transfer the quantum state of a particle onto another particle-the process of quantum teleportation-provided one does not get any information about the state in the course of this transformation. Application: ● ● Teleportation can be used in place of wiring in a large quantum computer. ● ● To Build a distributed system (e.g. a quantum multicomputer). and so on

7. A complete Bell-state measurement can not only give the result that the two particles 1 and 2 are in the anti-symmetric state, but with equal probabilities of 25% we could find them in any one of the three other entangled states. After successful teleportation particle 1 is not available in its original state any more, and therefore particle 3 is not a clone but is really the result of teleportation. 00 01 10 11 obtaining ZX Z X I So Bob applies gate Then Bob’s qubit is in state If Alice obtains Theoretical Results

8. Principle of Quantum Teleportation – Alice has particle 1 – Alice & Bob share EPR pair – Alice performs BSM causing entanglement between photon 1 and 2 – Alice sends classical information to Bob – Bob performs unitary transformation – Teleporting the state not the particle – Correlations used for data transfer Schematic idea for quantum teleportation introducing Alice as a sending and Bob as a receiving station, showing the different paths of information transfer.

11. Outside Teleportation Region For distinguishable photons, with p=0.5, 2 photons end in different O/P ports For distinguishable photons, with p=0.5, 2 photons end in different O/P ports Photon 3 polarization undefined! Photon 3 polarization undefined! So, d1, d2 have 50% chances of receiving photon 3 So, d1, d2 have 50% chances of receiving photon 3 => 25% probability for both f1f2d1 and f1f2d2 threefold coincidences => 25% probability for both f1f2d1 and f1f2d2 threefold coincidences P(f1f2d1) = P(f1f2d2) = 0.25 P(f1f2d1) = P(f1f2d2) = 0.25

12. Inside Teleportation Region – Indistinguishable photons interfere! – Input state – Indistinguishable photons interfere! – Input state – If f1, f2 both click, then teleportation occurred and only d1f1f2 coincidences should occur and d2f1f2 should be 0 – Teleportation (d1f1f2 coincidences) achieved with 25% prob.

13. Experimental Demonstration Theoretical and experimental threefold coincidence detection between the two Bell state detectors f 1 f 2 and one of the detectors monitoring the teleported state. Teleportation is complete when d 1 f 1 f 2 (+45°) is present in the absence of d 2 f 1 f 2 (-45°) detection.

15. Summary Deduced from the basic principles of quantum mechanics, it is possible to transfer the quantum state from one particle onto another over arbitrary distances. As an experimental elaboration of that scheme we discussed the teleportation of polarization states of photons. But quantum teleportation is not restricted to that system at all. One could imagine entangling photons with atoms or photons with ions, and so on. Then teleportation would allow us to transfer the state of, for example, fast decohering, short-lived particles onto some more stable systems. This opens the possibility of quantum memories, where the information of incoming photons could be stored on trapped ions, carefully shielded from the environment. With this application we are in heart of quantum information processing.
