Quantum repeaters are essential for overcoming the exponential photon loss that limits entanglement generation over long distances in quantum networks. An absorption-emission-based quantum repeater exploits the fundamental light-matter interactions of a diamond nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center---photon absorption and photon emission---to transfer a quantum state from an absorbed photon to an emitted photon, offering a scalable architecture that operates without photon interference between remote nodes. Here we demonstrate an absorption-emission-based quantum repeater node using a single NV center, realizing the complete single-node operation in which heralded photon-to-memory quantum state transfer, repeat-until-success (RUS) emission of a spin-entangled photon, and quantum teleportation of the memory state onto the emitted photon constitute the essential repeater operation. By characterizing the complete repeater operation as a quantum channel from the absorbed photon to the emitted photon via quantum process tomography, we obtain a process fidelity of 78%. This demonstration establishes the absorption-emission approach as a fundamental building block for scalable quantum repeater architectures and paves the way toward practical long-distance quantum networks.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides depth-resolved, label-free imaging of microstructure and has become a central modality for optical biopsy. Bringing this capability from bench-top instruments to small lumens, interventional tools, neural interfaces, and confined engineered structures requires probes that are miniature, customizable, inexpensive, and simple to exchange and operate. Current endoscopic OCT probes remain constrained by complex component chains, demanding fiber processing, and reference-arm matching that increase system cost and user expertise. Here we demonstrate a fully fiber-integrated OCT (F2I-OCT) probe in which a single two-photon-polymerized element defines the complete distal interferometric architecture. Beam expansion, side-view redirection, focusing, and common-path reference generation are integrated within one printed micro-optical body while remaining independently designable. This architecture converts probe fabrication from fiber processing and interferometer tuning into a print-and-bond process, eliminating fusion splicing, precision cleaving, and per-probe system adjustment. Because each probe carries its own reference, probes can be exchanged in a plug-and-play manner on an unmodified OCT system. Twenty consecutively assembled probes showed reproducible performance, with a returned-reference-power standard deviation below 0.15 dB. The system achieved sensitivity above 93 dB and resolved layered structures in ex vivo airway and dental pulp cavity samples. By printing a complete distal interferometric architecture rather than a standalone micro-lens, this work establishes a system-level integration strategy for miniature OCT, lowering the barrier to deployable endoscopic imaging and enabling application-specific probes for clinical screening, image-guided intervention, neurotechnology, and confined-space inspection.

Telecloning -- the combination of quantum teleportation and cloning -- offers a powerful mechanism to disseminate unknown quantum states to multiple spatially separated recipients with optimal fidelity. Despite its conceptual importance for quantum networks, an experimental demonstration of symmetric qubit quantum telecloning remains elusive, particularly due to the challenges of generating multipartite entangled resource states and implementing stable multi-photon interference across distributed nodes. Here, we realize the optimal 1 to 2 symmetric quantum telecloning using a scalable silicon photonic platform. We implement a six-photon protocol using two independent, fiber-linked photonic chips: one generating a heralded input state and the other preparing a four-photon entangled resource state. By performing an interchip Bell-state measurement, we successfully distribute the input state into two optimal clones at remote nodes. We observe an interchip cloning fidelity of 78.45 $\pm$ 1.39%, exceeding the classical limit of 2/3 by 8 standard deviations. Our results demonstrate the robust generation and manipulation of complex multi-photon states between integrated chips, providing a foundational building block for large-scale multi-party quantum networks.
Quantum transduction, which coherently converts quantum states between microwave and optical frequency domains, is a key technology for hybrid quantum architectures. Its performance, however, is fundamentally limited by thermal noise. Direct quantum transduction is particularly susceptible to noise and often fails to achieve positive quantum capacity. Entanglement-based quantum transduction, which realizes state conversion through quantum teleportation assisted by microwave-optical entanglement, is intrinsically more robust against thermal noise. However, generating sufficiently strong entanglement in a realistic thermal environment remains a major challenge. In this paper, we exploit correlated noise as a resource for quantum transduction. For direct quantum transduction, it is shown that the noise correlations give rise to controllable interference terms that substantially suppress the effective channel noise. For entanglement-based quantum transduction, the same correlations enhance the generation of microwave-optical entanglement, thereby improving the fidelity of teleportation-based conversion. As a result, both transduction protocols exhibit broad regions of positive quantum capacity over experimentally relevant ranges of cooperativity. We further discuss a possible physical mechanism for engineering the required noise correlations, providing theoretical guidance for experimental implementations. These results suggest that correlated noise can substantially relax the stringent cryogenic requirements for microwave-optical quantum transduction and facilitate the realization of practical hybrid quantum networks.
The influence of environmental decoherence on quantum teleportation is investigated by considering the three-qubit Maximally Sliced (MS) state as the shared entangled resource. Using the Kraus operator formalism, analytical expressions are derived for the teleportation fidelity under amplitude damping and phase damping channels. The corresponding basis-independent coherence is obtained, establishing explicit analytical relations between coherence and teleportation fidelity under both decoherence mechanisms. The results are further expressed in terms of the Coffman-Kundu-Wootters (CKW) three-tangle, thereby connecting genuine tripartite entanglement with teleportation performance. The analysis reveals distinct effects of the two noise channels: amplitude damping introduces a state-dependent threshold for achieving quantum teleportation, whereas phase damping preserves the quantum advantage until complete dephasing. These results provide a unified analytical framework for understanding the interplay among multipartite entanglement, quantum coherence and teleportation in noisy three-qubit MS states.
Reversible quantum channels play a fundamental role in quantum dynamics and quantum information processing. A quantum channel is reversible if there exists another quantum channel acting as its left inverse. Due to their intrinsic significance and wide applications, it is desirable to characterize reversible quantum channels from diverse perspectives. In this work, we study reversible quantum channels on finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, with particular emphasis on the case of different input and output dimensions. We systematically present twenty-one equivalent characterizations of reversible quantum channels from algebraic, geometrical, and information-theoretical perspectives. Among these characterizations, some are well known, while others, implicit in the literature or formulated in other contexts, are clarified here; the Choi-state characterization is derived in this work. Specifically, we prove that the Choi states of reversible quantum channels admit three equivalent forms: the spectral, direct-sum, and tensor-product representations. These twenty-one equivalent characterizations establish a comprehensive framework for reversible quantum channels, provide diverse insights into the structural and information-theoretic properties of quantum channels, and facilitate applications of reversibility in quantum information processing such as quantum error correction, quantum teleportation, and quantum thermodynamics.
Quantum networks play a pivotal role in quantum information science, which not only provide a secure communication platform for remote access to quantum computers but also serve as the strategic core for achieving large-scale quantum information processing, forming the foundational infrastructure for the future global-scale quantum internet. Quantum teleportation, which enables the transmission of unknown quantum states over long distances by employing quantum entanglement together with classical communication, is essential for the distribution of quantum resources in the construction of the global-scale quantum internet. To realize a global-scale quantum internet, quantum repeater protocols represent one of the most promising approaches for enabling quantum communication between any nodes. This concise review presents representative experimental demonstrations of quantum teleportation for constructing quantum networks across different physical platforms. Along this trajectory, the review discusses current challenges, open issues, and future perspectives toward scalable and practical quantum internet.
When a photon and one member of an entangled photon pair are jointly projected onto a Bell-state measurement (BSM), the quantum state of the photon can be transferred to the distant partner of the pair without physically transmitting this information carrier. In real-world deployment, however, teleportation performance is fundamentally bottlenecked by quantum channel impairments, such as loss, noise, and fluctuations, which induce severe decoherence and degrade fidelity. This vulnerability is further exacerbated in scenarios with intense classical data traffic or background light. Realizing scalable quantum networks, therefore, hinges on developing advanced channel architectures capable of supporting both high-fidelity quantum operations and high-capacity classical communications within a shared infrastructure. Towards this end, hollow core fibre (HCF) offers a promising quantum channel resource by combining free-space-like weak light-matter interaction with the stability of fibre-based systems. Here, utilizing a field-deployed metropolitan HCF network spanning three spatially separated nodes in Chengdu, we achieve quantum teleportation with an intermediate BSM under co-propagating classical traffic. Crucially, the HCF links preserve the long-term indistinguishability of photonic qubits without active stabilization, and exhibit a Raman noise approximately three orders of magnitude lower than that of standard solid-core counterparts. This noise suppression enables robust quantum teleportation even alongside classical launch powers up to 160 mW. Our findings establish a classical-data-compatible framework for quantum networking over deployed fibre infrastructure and offer a wavelength-agnostic, plug-and-play, and free-running pathway toward the quantum internet.

Astronomical interferometry is a cornerstone technique for high-resolution stellar imaging and observational astrophysics, extracting spatial information from the coherence of light collected by separated telescopes. Since the degree of coherence is complex, a genuine imaging task requires the joint recovery of the modulus and the relative phase, instead of independent singleparameter estimations. We investigate the simultaneous estimation of both parameters based on direct interferometry scheme and continuou-svariable quantum teleportation scheme. We find that in simultaneous estimation the direct interferometry scheme consistently yields a lower quantum Cramér-Rao bound, demonstrating its superiority over the continuous-variable quantum teleportation scheme. Furthermore, we establish the conditions under which the classical Cramér-Rao bound for Gaussian measurements saturates the quantum Cramér-Rao bound, identifying heterodyne detection as a near-optimal measurement scheme in the large mean photon number regime. An analysis of transmission loss reveals that the direct interferometry scheme yields superior precision in the short-baseline regime, whereas the continuous-variable quantum teleportation scheme outperforms it at longer baselines.

Quantum teleportation has evolved from single-qubit, unidirectional communication to multi-qubit and multidirectional protocols. However, most existing schemes rely on protocol-specific entangled resources, motivating the development of universal quantum channels capable of supporting multiple communication tasks simultaneously. In this work, we demonstrate that a single twelve-qubit entangled channel exhibits such versatility by enabling the bidirectional teleportation of arbitrary three-qubit states and the cyclic teleportation of arbitrary two-qubit states through local Bell-state measurements and single-qubit operations. Both protocols are further generalized to multi-qubit and multi-party configurations, establishing the scalability of the proposed framework. To assess its practical applicability, the protocols are analyzed under amplitude-damping, phase-damping, bit-flip, phase-flip, and depolarizing noise channels by plotting the teleportation fidelity as a function of both the input-state parameters and noise strength. The analysis reveals distinct noise sensitivities, with the bidirectional protocol remaining perfectly faithful under bit-flip noise for all input states and noise strengths, while the cyclic protocol is consistently more vulnerable to environmental disturbances. The proposed schemes achieve an intrinsic efficiency of $25\%$, which is compared with several existing protocols. The framework therefore provides a scalable and resource-efficient approach to unified quantum communication in realistic noisy quantum networks.

Quantum teleportation is a key protocol for transmitting quantum information using entanglement and classical communication. Its reliability is constrained by both the availability and fidelity of shared entangled pairs, which are affected by stochastic generation and memory decoherence. In this work, we focus on encoded teleportation, in which quantum information is encoded using a quantum error-correcting code and transmitted as a codeword. We evaluate reliability in terms of logical error probability, considering latency-constrained settings where entanglement is accumulated over time and degrades while in memory. We develop a unified framework that captures the interaction between entanglement availability, decoherence, and coding decisions. Our results show that the benefits of longer codes depend on the availability and fidelity of entangled pairs, as acquiring additional resources introduces delays that can reduce their quality. To address this latency-reliability tradeoff, we leverage code puncturing to enable flexible encoded teleportation, allowing the effective code length to adapt across different latency regimes while preserving a common stabilizer structure. Numerical results show that encoded teleportation can provide substantial reliability gains over uncoded transmission under a common entanglement-acquisition latency constraint, and that selecting appropriate punctured codes improves performance across varying latency budgets. Overall, our results highlight the importance of resource-aware adaptation for reliable quantum networking.
This paper introduces an interactive music system with quantum musical agents that communicate by teleporting quantum states to one another. Human performers interact in real time with agents whose melodic and rhythmic behaviours are encoded as quantum states using Single Qubit Probability Amplitude Modulation (SQPAM) and structured through Quantum Phase Estimation (QPE). Up to three agents are combined within a single quantum circuit, with directed communication via quantum teleportation. We are interested in supporting ambiguous, transformative interactions reminiscent of free Jazz improvisation. Therefore, rather than treating noise and decoherence as limitations, the system embraces NISQ-era constraints as creative affordances, framing agent communication as quantum whispers, that is, deliberate, musically expressive imperfections in state transfer. We provide demonstrations and analyses based on melodic correlation, pitch-set distance, and state fidelity, where a continuum between imitation and divergence can be observed. We developed a tunable interpretation method to assess how agents reinterpret teleported states. This work positions teleportation as a promising interaction mechanism for agent-based quantum computer music and outlines future directions toward distributed ensembles connected via the Quantum Internet.

Synthesizing physically plausible impact sounds from visual observations remains a great challenge in multi-modal AI. Existing 3D-aware audio generation methods primarily model the surface geometry of hollow rigid bodies. However, they fundamentally overlook internal filling states, a critical physical factor that drastically modulates acoustic resonance and damping. To address this issue, we have defined a new task called Fine-Grained Filling-Aware Impact Sound Generation. As a foundational step, we first introduce the fine-grained fill-aware dataset (FillImpact), a pioneering multi-modal collection comprising over 5,000 rigorous acoustic recordings from 88 diverse real-world objects. It captures impact interactions with varying internal contents (i.e., water, rice), a continuous range of fill levels, and distinct striker materials. Furthermore, comprehensive acoustic analysis confirms that the collected data closely aligns with established physical laws governing acoustic resonance and damping, indicating its suitability for physically grounded modeling. Building on this dataset, we propose a novel generative framework (FillGauss) that integrates 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) with internal state conditioning for sound generation. By fusing 3DGS geometric features, precise 3D spatial strike coordinates, and fine-grained textual physical conditions within a latent diffusion architecture, FillGauss enables position-aware, striker-aware, and filling-aware audio generation. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach could generate high-fidelity impact sounds that adhere to underlying physical principles, establishing a new state-of-the-art for physically grounded cross-modal audio generation.
We investigate standard quantum teleportation in a relativistic setting where one participant, Rob, undergoes uniform acceleration while Alice remains inertial. Rob interacts locally with a massive scalar field modeled by an Unruh-DeWitt detector. We show that for small detector energy gaps, the entanglement shared between Alice and Rob increases monotonically with acceleration. For larger gaps, entanglement initially decreases at low accelerations due to the Unruh effect, but is subsequently restored and enhanced at higher accelerations as a consequence of the anti-Unruh effect. This behavior is associated with a reduction of the effective detector temperature, leading to a recovery of quantum coherence previously lost to the field. As a result, the teleportation fidelity increases with acceleration and approaches unity in the high-acceleration regime. Our results demonstrate that the anti-Unruh effect can protect and recover quantum information, providing a potential mechanism to mitigate relativistic degradation of quantum correlations.

Scalable quantum computing architectures increasingly rely on multi-core designs, where qubits are distributed across multiple processing cores interconnected through a quantum Network-on-Chip (NoC). In such systems, inter-core communication is typically realized through entanglement-assisted quantum teleportation, making efficient entanglement generation critical for performance. In this paper, we perform a comparative study of three entanglement management paradigms for multi-core quantum processors: reactive on-demand generation (ODG), proactive continuous pre-generation (CGP), and an adaptive continuous pre-generation approach (ACGP). While ODG generates entanglement only when required, CGP reduces average teleportation latency by pre-generating EPR pairs in the background. To improve upon this, we propose ACGP which dynamically adjusts entanglement generation probabilities based on observed inter-core communication patterns. We evaluate these approaches using an extended SeQUeNCe simulator on mesh-based multi-core architectures on real benchmark circuits. Results show that ACGP significantly reduces average teleportation latency compared to ODG and CGP. Although pre-generation introduces fidelity degradation due to storage time, entanglement purification effectively restores fidelity with minimal impact on latency. These results demonstrate that adaptive entanglement managements can substantially improve communication efficiency in scalable quantum multi-core systems.
