Nonlocality in Remote State Preparation vis-a-vis Teleportation

Abstract

The hitherto unexplored nonlocality of quantum correlations in the information transfer protocol of remote state preparation (RSP) is investigated in terms of a unified nonlocality argument formulated for teleportation as well as for two distinct RSP schemes. The argument differs only in the respective types of local measurements used in each scenario. One of the RSP schemes uses single particle projective measurements, while the other uses joint Bell-basis measurements. Interestingly, the quantum mechanical violations of the Bell-CHSH type inequalities formulated for each of the RSP setups, while being equal to each other, also turn out to be equal to that of the corresponding Bell-CHSH type local realist inequality for teleportation, using the common resource of non-maximally entangled state. This reveals that for such a resource state, the maximum amount of extractable nonlocality of correlations involved in the transfer of information is the same for the standard teleportation protocol and the two RSP schemes considered here, thereby implying that the essential difference between teleportation and remote state preparation lies in the amount of classical information required to be exchanged between parties, and not in the nonlocality of underlying correlations.
