Long Distance Atomic Teleportation using Entangled Coherent States and Cavity Assisted Interaction (1209.3109v1)

Abstract: The schemes proposed by S. Bose et al [Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 5158 (1999)] and others for long distance atomic teleportation using cavity decay, gives message state dependent fidelity on successful attempt and in case of failure message state destroys. We propose a different scheme for teleportation of an atomic state from one cavity to a distant cavity by reflecting optical-pulse modes of an entangled coherent state (ECS) from single atom-cavity systems and detecting whether light is on or off. Unit success with unit fidelity is obtained for large mean photon number (|{\alpha}|^2). For small |{\alpha}|^2, however, there is some probability of failure but message state does not destroy, and this allows us to achieve unit success in a few repeated attempts. Unlike previous schemes, our scheme also enjoys advantages of deterministic generation of ECS, robustness of ECS against de-coherence due to photon absorption, and it does not require many-stage cavity interactions and single photon detection ability.
