Long-distance quantum teleportation enabled by multiplexed quantum memories

Posted by in category: quantum physics

Quantum teleportation is a technique allowing the transfer of quantum information between two distant quantum objects, a sender and a receiver, using a phenomenon called quantum entanglement as a resource.

The unique feature of this process is that the actual information is not transferred by sending quantum bits (qubits) through a connecting the two parties; instead, the information is destroyed at one location and appears at the other one without physically traveling between the two. This surprising property is enabled by , accompanied by the transmission of classical bits.

There is a deep interest in quantum teleportation nowadays within the field of quantum communications and quantum networks because it would allow the transfer of between network nodes over very long distances, using previously shared entanglement.
