Optimal tripartite quantum teleportation protocols via noisy channels by feed-forward control and environment-assisted measurement

Abstract

This paper presents a tripartite quantum teleportation protocol that incorporates feed-forward control and environment-assisted measurement, aiming to suppress the influence of arbitrary noise with at least one reversible Kraus operator. In this protocol, the feed-forward control is first utilized before the decoherence channel, such that the entangled qubit is transferred to the target state, which is more robust against noise. Next, the measurement is performed on the noise environment coupled with the entangled qubit during the decoherence channel. Finally, the reversed feed-forward control and the redesigned weak measurement reversal operator are applied after the decoherence channel. This protocol can be applied to the case where both amplitude damping and phase damping noise coexist. Based on this protocol, the analytical expressions for performance metrics including the average fidelity and the success probability are further derived. Even for the heavy damping cases, the final average teleportation fidelity can reach 1, which is independent of the magnitude of decoherence and the entanglement parameters. Furthermore, we optimize the success probability without compromising fidelity, and derive the average fidelity expression of the standard tripartite teleportation protocol through the phase damping noise channel. The effectiveness of our protocol is verified by numerical simulations.
