Complete scheme to “teleport” quantum information by photons
The principles of quantum mechanics allow us to realize ultra-high-capacity communication and ultra-high-speed quantum computation beyond the limits of current technology. One of the most important steps toward this goal is the transfer of quantum bits (superposition of 0 and 1) carried by particles of light by what is termed “quantum teleportation”.
The research group of Prof. Akira Furusawa and graduate student Shuntaro Takeda at the Graduate School of Engineering of the University of Tokyo have realized, for the first time, the complete quantum teleportation of photonic quantum bits using an innovative scheme of combining photonic quantum bits with optical wave teleportation.
