Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

2.2.6 Teleportation

Course subject(s) Module 2: Working with Multiple Qubits

Teleportation has been the focus of many sci-fi movies and books. In this lecture you will find out that quantum teleportation is not what you would expect… Gustavo will explain how we can make use of the entanglement and two classical bits to teleport information from one qubit to another already existing one. Since there is nothing being transmitted through a quantum channel we cannot call this protocol a quantum transmission; instead, we call it quantum teleportation.

  • The Bell States are four maximally entangled two-partite states that form a basis.
  • The Bell State Analyzer is based on the outcomes of the Z-basis measurements of the Bell States transformed into the computational basis
  • To perform the teleportation protocol we need a Bell State and a qubit with the information we want to teleport.
  • By using the outcomes of the Bell State Analyzer between one of the qubits of the Bell State and the information qubit, the information is teleported to the remaining party of the initial Bell State.
