Quantum Teleportation in a Solid State System

Abstract

We propose a practical solid-state system capable of demonstrating quantum teleportation. The set-up exploits recent advances in the optical control of excitons in coupled quantum dots, in order to produce maximally-entangled Bell and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states. Only two unitary transformations are then required: a quantum Controlled-Not gate and a Hadamard gate. The laser pulses necessary to generate the maximally-entangled states, and the corresponding unitary transformations, are given explicitly.
