Disentangling Nonlocality and Teleportation
نویسنده
چکیده
Quantum entanglement can be used to demonstrate nonlocality and to teleport a quantum state from one place to another. The fact that entanglement can be used to do both these things has led people to believe that teleportation is a nonlocal effect. In this paper it is shown that teleportation is conceptually independent of nonlocality. This is done by constructing a toy local theory in which cloning is not possible (without a no-cloning theory teleportation makes limited sense) but teleportation is. Teleportation in this local theory is achieved in an analogous way to the way it is done with quantum theory. This work provides some insight into what type of process teleportation is.

On Classical Teleportation and Classical Nonlocality
An interesting protocol for classical teleportation of an unknown classical state was recently suggested by Cohen, and by Gour and Meyer. In that protocol, Bob can sample from a probability distribution P that is given to Alice, even if Alice has absolutely no knowledge about P . Pursuing a similar line of thought, we suggest here a limited form of nonlocality — “classical nonlocality”. Our non...
متن کاملExperimental nonlocality proof of quantum teleportation and entanglement swapping.
Quantum teleportation strikingly underlines the peculiar features of the quantum world. We present an experimental proof of its quantum nature, teleporting an entangled photon with such high quality that the nonlocal quantum correlations with its original partner photon are preserved. This procedure is also known as entanglement swapping. The nonlocality is confirmed by observing a violation of...

Quantum nonlocality arising from entasgled states is the most fundamental and the most mysterious phenomenon in quantum mechanics, and it is in the core of quantum information theory. Fomally quantum nonlocality follows from the SchrMinger equation; however, its physical meaning is still unclear despite successful experimental confirmation,"] and applications to teleportation, cryptography and...
متن کاملComment on “ Experimental Nonlocality Proof of Quantum Teleportation and Entanglement Swapping ” Luiz
(February 1, 2008) In a recent paper in which they demonstrate quantum nonlocality for photons that never interacted [1], Jennewein, Weihs, Pan, and Zeilinger mention a seemingly paradoxical situation that arises when Alice’s Bell-state analysis is delayed long after Bob’s measurements. According to the authors, “This seems paradoxical because Alice’s measurement projects photons 0 and 3 into a...
متن کاملQuantum correlations from local amplitudes and the resolution of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen nonlocality puzzle
The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen nonlocality puzzle has been recognized as one of the most important unresolved issues in the foundational aspects of quantum mechanics. We show that the problem is more or less entirely resolved if the quantum correlations are calculated directly from local quantities which preserve the phase information in the quantum system. We assume strict locality for the probab...
