General teleportation channel in Fermionic Quantum Theory

Abstract: Quantum Teleportation is a very useful scheme for transferring quantum information. Given that the quantum information is encoded in a state of a system of distinguishable particles, and given that the shared bi-partite entangled state is also that of a system of distinguishable particles, the optimal teleportation fidelity of the shared state is known to be $(F_{max}d+1)/(d+1)$ with $F_{max}$ being the maximal singlet fraction' of the shared state. In the present work, we address the question of optimal teleportation fidelity given that the quantum information to be teleported is encoded in Fermionic modes while a $2N$-mode state of a system of Fermions (with maximum $2N$ no. of Fermions -- in the second quantization language) is shared between the sender and receiver with each party possessing $N$ modes of the $2N$-mode state. Parity Superselection Rule (PSSR) in Fermionic Quantum Theory (FQT) puts constraint on the allowed set of physical states and operations, and thereby, leads to a different notion of Quantum Teleportation. Due to PSSR, we introduce restricted Clifford twirl operations that constitute the Unitary 2-design in case of FQT, and show that the structure of the canonical form of Fermionic invariant shared state differs from that of the isotropic state -- the corresponding canonical invariant form for teleportation in Standard Quantum Theory (SQT). We provide a lower bound on the optimal teleportation fidelity in FQT and compare the result with teleportation in SQT. Surprisingly, we find that, under separable measurements on a bipartite Fermionic state, input and output states of the Fermionic teleportation channel cannot be distinguished operationally, even if a particular kind of resource state withmaximal singlet fraction' being less than unity is used.
