Noiseless Direct Quantum Communications in the Face of Noisy Entanglement
share
The availability of pre-shared entanglement among remote quantum nodes is required for facilitating quantum communications within the Quantum Internet. However, the generation and the distribution of the entanglement is inherently contaminated by quantum decoherence. Conventionally, the quantum decoherence in quantum communications is mitigated by performing the consecutive steps of quantum entanglement distillation followed by quantum teleportation. However, this conventional approach imposes a long delay. To circumvent this impediment, we propose a noiseless quantum communication scheme in the face of realistic noisy pre-shared entanglement, which eliminates the sequential steps imposing delay in the standard approach. More precisely, our proposed scheme can be viewed as a direct quantum communication scheme capable of flawless operation in the face of realistic noisy pre-shared entanglement. Our performance analysis shows that the proposed scheme offers improved qubit error ratio, yield, and goodput over the existing state-of-the-art quantum entanglement distillation based schemes, despite requiring fewer quantum gates.
