Dense codingBennett+Wiesner, PRL 69,2881 (1992), Mattle&Zeilinger, PRL 76, 4656 (1996) • Using entanglement, by sending one qubit, two-qubit information can be transmitted. • Coding? Two-qubit information coded in four operations I, x, y, z: x:(, ), y:(, ), z:(,) • Steps? • Share an entangled pair between sender and receiver • The sender applies one of the unitary operations to his particle then the entangled pair becomes one of the four Bell states. • The sender transmits his particle to the receiver.
D1 D1 Bell-state measurement • Problem: How to identify the four Bell states. • Two Bell states can be identified: Both photons leave the beam splitter via the same output port except . • When coincidence between D1 and D2 or D2 and D1 , incident photons were in . • When D1 and D1 or D2 and D2 incident photons were in +. • Otherwise we do not know. • How do we discern all four Bell states? D2 D2 BS PBS Lutkenhaus, PRA 59, 3295 (1999) It is not possible to discern all four Bell states by using a combination of linear devices
Bell-state measurement Entangler 2 Entangler 1 Entanglement swappingC.H. Bennett et al., PRL 70,1895 (1993) • With use a Bell-state measurement, it is possible to swap entanglement.
Pan & Zeilinger, “experimental entanglement swapping”, PRL 80, 3891 (1998)
Quantum teleportationBennett, “teleporting an unknown quantum state via dual classic & EPR channels”, PRL 70, 1895 (1993) Classical information (1,2,3,4) • Teleport quantum information by sending classical information. • What is quantum/ Classical information? Bell-state measurement Unitary transformation Unknown state Entangler
Quantum teleportation for a qubit : Pauli spin operators
Check points • Quantum measurement? • Why not measure the unknown state to find a & b and send the classical information to the receiver? • Quantum copying? • Does it violate the cloning theorem? • Superluminal communication? • Any violation of the Relativity? • Is it more efficient than sending the quantum information? • because entanglement is very fragile. • Possible to concentrate entanglement. Entanglement teleportation: Lee & Kim, PRL 84, 4236 (2000)
Entanglement concentration-pure stateBose & Knight, PRA 60, 194 (1999) • Consider two pair of non-maximally entangled particles (they are identically entangled) • For the outcomes of the Bell measurement, the other two particles are maximally entangled. Bell measure Entangler 2 Entangler 1
:PBS Entanglement concentration-mixed stateKwiat et al., Nature 409, 1014 (2001); Pan & Zeilinger, Nature 410, 1067 (2001) • Assume a mixed state • For coincident counting of ()a and()b, the two other particles are in
