Minimal disturbance measurement for coherent states is non-Gaussian
Ladislav Mišta · Physical Review A · 2006
In standard coherent state teleportation with a shared two-mode squeezed vacuum (TMSV) state there is a trade-off between the teleportation fidelity and the fidelity of estimation of the teleported state from the results of the Bell measurement. Within the class of Gaussian operations this trade-off is optimal, i.e., there is not a Gaussian operation that would give a larger estimation fidelity for a given output fidelity. We show that this trade-off can be improved by up to 2.77% if we use a suitable non-Gaussian operation. This operation can be implemented by the standard teleportation protocol in which the shared TMSV state is replaced with a suitable non-Gaussian entangled state. We also demonstrate that this operation can be used to enhance the transmission fidelity of a certain noisy channel.
