On the Teleportation of Discrete Variable Qubits Via Continuous Variable Lossy Channels

Abstract
The Continuous-Variable (CV) quantum state of light allows for the teleportation of a Discrete-Variable (DV) photonic qubit. Such an operation is useful in the realm of hybrid quantum networks. However, it is known that the teleportation of a DV qubit via a Gaussian CV resource channel is severely limited under channel loss, with a teleportation fidelity beyond the classical limit unattainable for losses exceeding a small threshold of 0.5 dB. In this work, we present a new non-deterministic teleportation protocol that combines a Gaussian CV resource channel with a modified form of the Bell State Measurement that accommodates a DV-qubit fidelity beyond the classical limit for channel losses up to 20~dB. Beyond this orders of magnitude improvement, we also show how the use of non-Gaussian operations on the CV resource channel can lead to a DV-qubit fidelity approaching unity for any channel loss.
