Quantum Teleportation

Quantum teleportation experiments generally have several prerequisites:

1. means of generating an entangled EPR pair of qubits as well as a qubit that is to be teleported
2. a conventional communication channel capable of transmitting two classical bits
3. means of performing a Bell measurement on the EPR pair, and manipulating the quantum state of one of the pair

The teleportation success is then typically analysed via coincidence correlation methods. For that purpose, the photons emitted by the systems are split using, e.g., a 50 / 50 beamsplitter or a polarization splitter and send onto two single photon sensitive detectors. The output of these detectors is then fed into a time tagging unit with high temporal resolution to measure the coincidence.
