Increasing Average Fidelity by Using Non-Maximally Entangled Resource in Teleportation of Superposed Coherent States (1107.2533v1)

Abstract: We consider the problem of teleporting superposed coherent state using non-maximally entangled coherent state as quantum channel and study the effect of entanglement over quality of teleportation. We show that if maximally entangled coherent state (MECS) used by Van Enk and Hirota [Phys. Rev. A 64, 022313 (2001)] and by H Prakash et al. [Phys. Rev. A 75, 044305 (2007)] is replaced by a particular non-maximally entangled coherent state (NMECS), average fidelity of quantum teleportation increases appreciably at small coherent amplitudes. Since it is very challenging to produce superposed coherent states of large coherent amplitudes, the particular NMECS appear to be a good quantum channel for teleportation at small coherent amplitudes for practical implementation.
