Prediction-retrodiction measurements for teleportation and conditional state transfer

Abstract

Regular measurements allow predicting the future and retrodicting the past of quantum systems. Time-non-local measurements can leave the future and the past uncertain, yet establish a relation between them. We show that continuous time-non-local measurements can be used to transfer a quantum state via teleportation or direct transmission. Considering two oscillators probed by traveling fields, we analytically identify strategies for performing the state transfer perfectly across a wide range of linear oscillator-field interactions beyond the pure beamsplitter and two-mode-squeezing types.
