2. Introduction
● Classically, teleportation is impossible
● Teleportation is possible in quantum
mechanics.
● In Quantum teleportation we
dematerialize an object and recreate it
somewhere else
3. In 1993 a group of six scientists
discovered that teleportation is possible
in quantum mechanics

located. The green laser beam was used
as a beacon for the closed-loop optical
tracking system which kept the

6. OVERVIEW
● We construct entangled states of two spin one-half particles that has zero total
angular momentum.
● introduce Bell states, which are four entangled states that form a basis for the
state space of two spin one-half particles.
● We explain how quantum teleportation of a spin state works with the help of an
entangled pair.
7. Entangled States
Most general state in state space of 2 spin ½ particles can be represented
by
Can one write the state as = v∗ ⊗ w∗?
If no such v∗ and w∗ exist, we say that is an entangled state of the
two particles

behave as though they are part of the same whole. Scientists used these
crystals in their process of teleporting the state of a photon across more
than 15 miles (25 kilometers) of optical fiber. Credit: Félix

9. Bell basis states
Bell states are a set of four entangled basis vectors in the state space of two spin one-half
particles.
Consider now the state

12. SIGMAS CAN BE REALIZED BY MACHINES
The action of the Pauli matrices on spin states can be realized as time evolution
via
some Hamiltonian.
We can check, for example, that any
Pauli matrix can be written as the exponential of i times a Hermitian matrix (which
would be proportional to the Hamiltonian

result
which is neatly summarized as the following identity valid for
arbitrary states
