Description

We consider a one-dimensional structure where noninteracting spin-s scattering centers, such as quantum impurities or multilevel atoms, are embedded at given positions. We show that the injection into the structure of unpolarized flying qubits, such as electrons or photons, along with path detection suffice to accomplish spin-state teleportation between two centers via a third ancillary one. No action over the internal quantum state of both the spin-s particles and the flying qubits is required. The protocol enables the transfer of quantum information between well-separated static entities in nanostructures by exploiting a very low control mechanism, namely scattering.
