A system and method for quantum teleportation

摘要

A system for quantum teleportation of a quantum state of an input photon, including: a light emitting diode configured to produce a polarization entangled photon pair; a beam splitter configured to direct photons of the entangled photon pair along respective first and second paths; a measurement unit performing a joint measurement on the input photon; a timing unit configured to measure a first delay between the input photon and the photon of the entangled photon pair at a point of maximum indistinguishability of the photons as they pass through the joint measurement unit, and to measure a second delay between the two photons of the entangled photon pair as they exit the light emitting diode; a controller configured to determine a teleportation measurement is valid if the first delay is within a first predetermined timing window and the second delay is within a second predetermined timing window.
