Continuous-variable teleportation: Wigner functionsCommunicateMeasureDisplace

Continuous-variable teleportation: Wigner functionsFor Gaussian input states (this includes coherent states), all of which havepositive Wigner functions, the Wigner function provides a classical phasespace description (local hidden-variable model). The hidden variables arethe phase-space variables for the three modes. The protocol runs on theclassical correlations between the phase-space variables, described by theWigner function.Yet if Alice and Bob share an unentangled state in modes A and B, themaximum fidelity for teleporting a coherent state using the standardprotocol is 1/2. For teleporting coherent states, a fidelity greater than 1/2requires a shared resource that quantum mechanics says is entangled, butwhich is used in a way that can be accounted for by classical correlationsof local hidden variables.

Teleportation of non-Gaussian pure statesAll non-Gaussian pure states have Wigner functions thattake on negative values, so they cannot be incorporatedin the classical phase-space description.“Kicking and cheating” protocol Alice kicks the input state randomly with a Gaussian kicking strength tchosen so that the kicked state has a positive Wigner function and thus canbe incorporated within the classical phase-space description. The minimumrequired kicking strength is t 1 for all non-Gaussian pure states. Alice and Bob cheat by teleporting the kicked state with perfect fidelity.The fidelity achieved by the “kicking and cheating” protocol is the t 1 fidelitywithin the standard quantum protocol.Gold standard for continuousvariable teleportation ofnon-Gaussian pure states?

?Turn the overlap question forone mode into an expectationvalue for a pair of modes.This same technical result shows that if Alice and Bob sharean unentangled state, the maximum fidelity for teleporting acoherent state using the standard protocol is 1/2.

The “kicking with added communication” protocolAlice communicates her actual kick to Bob, who removes it aftercompleting the protocol, thereby achieving the quantum fidelity atthe cost of additional classical communication from Alice to Bob.

There is a classical phase-space description (local hidden-variablemodel) for teleportation, with arbitrary fidelity, of all Gaussianpure states, including coherent states, using the standard protocol.If Alice and Bob share an unentangled state, they cannot teleport acoherent state using the standard protocol with fidelity greaterthan 1/2. For teleporting coherent states, a fidelity greater than1/2 requires a shared resource that quantum mechanics says isentangled, but which is used in a way that can be accounted for byclassical correlations of local hidden variables.SummaryThere is no classical phase-space description of the teleportation ofany non-Gaussian pure state for fidelities greater than or equal to2/3, even if one allows Alice and Bob to cheat by using a protocolwith perfect fidelity.Alice and Bob can achieve the quantum fidelity within a “kicking withadded communication” protocol in which Alice communicates the kick,at the cost of upping the classical communication rate by 50%.
