Mathematical Expression of Quantum Teleportation

In our previous article, we had an article about quantum teleportation. In today's article, we will talk about how quantum teleportation is mathematically possible. To briefly restate quantum teleportation;

Quantum teleportation allows a state vector to be transmitted somewhere without any quantum channels, even at the speed of light distance between them.

For this, the following protocol is applied.

A long time ago, Alice and Bob shared two qubits in an entangled state with each other.

Let Alice's state vector be:

The operations on the state vector |ψ> in the above protocol are |ψ₁>, |ψ₂>, |ψ₃> and |ψ₄>.

Let's examine the state vectors one by one.

Let's pass the state vector |ψ₁> through the CNOT and get |ψ₂>.

The first two qubits belong to Alice, and the last qubits to Bob. Now let's go through Hadamard.

Now Alice can measure over her two qubits. As a result of the measurements, four results can be obtained with a 25% probability.

According to Alice's measurement results, Bob's actions are as follows:

There are two points to note here. First of all, this process does not happen at the speed of light. Because, as a result of Alice's measurement, she sends her qubit to Bob with classical channels (there are two channels), not quantum channels.

The second situation may seem to violate the no-cloning theory on my blog, but this is also not true. Because when Alice measures the qubits in her hand, the initial state vector collapses and Bob rebuilds it.

Bloch Sphere – Geometric Representation of Quantum State

It is very difficult to visualize quantum states before our eyes. The Bloch sphere represents quantum state functions quite well. The Bloch sphere is named after physicist Felix Bloch. As you can see in the Bloch sphere figure below, it geometrically shows the pure states of two-level quantum mechanical systems. The poles of the Bloch sphere consist of bits |0⟩ and |1⟩. Classically, the point on the sphere indicates either 0 or 1. However, from a quantum mechanics point of view, quantum bits contain possibilities to be found on the entire surface of the sphere. Traditionally, the z-axis represents the |0⟩ qubit, and the z-axis the |1⟩ qubit. When the wave function in superposition is measured, the state function collapses to one of the two poles no matter where it is on the sphere. The probability of collapsing into either pole depends on which pole the vector representing the qubit is closest to. The angle θ that the vector makes with the z-axis determines this probabilit...

Quantum Phase Estimation - Calculating an Eigenvalue

We continue our series of fundamental and ongoing quantum algorithms. In today's post, we'll look at the eigenvalue calculation that is familiar to anyone in both the basic sciences and engineering. We will consider a slightly different situation, of course, our work is quantum. Let's consider the quantum state of a system! When we make an observation, we obtain real observation values by calculating the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the state in that system, the mathematical calculation that helps us to have information about the position, momentum, or energy of that system. So, how can we find the eigenvalues of the unitary operators, which act on a system without changing its size, that is, preserve its physical size? To solve this problem, we will examine the Quantum Phase Estimation solution. In order to find the eigenvalues of the unit operator U, we need to find the value of the phase ϕ, which is inside the exponential value. However, it is not that easy. A qua...

A Study of Quantum Properties of Phonons - A New Kind of Quantum Computing Could Be Possible

To date, we have quantum computers that are superconducting, ion-trapped, neutral atoms, and photons. However, it seems that a new one will be added among these types. Phonons could be popular for this new quantum computer. Before moving on to this stage, a team led by Prof. Andrew Cleland at the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago conducted two experiments to establish a detailed study of phonons. As is known, quantum mechanics argues that quantum elementary particles are indivisible. For example, photons, the smallest particles of light with which we are more studied and familiar, are examples of these elementary particles. However, little attention has been paid to phonons, another quantum particle that transmits sound, in small packets. The team at the University of Chicago was able to figure out how to first capture single phonons and entangle two phonons, using phonons with a pitch that is about a million times higher than what the human ea...
