We analyze the performance of quantum teleportation in terms of average fidelity and fidelity deviation. The average fidelity is defined as the average value of the fidelities over all possible input states and the fidelity deviation is their standard deviation, which is referred to as a concept of fluctuation or universality. In the analysis, we find the condition to optimize both measures under a noisy quantum channel-we here consider the so-called Werner channel. To characterize our results, we introduce a two-dimensional space defined by the aforementioned measures, in which the performance of the teleportation is represented as a point with the channel noise parameter. Through further analysis, we specify some regions drawn for different channel conditions, establishing the connection to the dissimilar contributions of the entanglement to the teleportation and the Bell inequality violation.
We propose an operational quasiprobability function for qudits, enabling a
comparison between quantum and hidden-variable theories. We show that the
quasiprobability function becomes positive semidefinite if consecutive
measurement results are described by a hidden-variable model with locality and
noninvasive measurability assumed. Otherwise, it is negative valued. The
negativity depends on the observables to be measured as well as a given state,
as the quasiprobability function is operationally defined. We also propose a
marginal quasiprobability function and show that it plays the role of an
entanglement witness for two qudits. In addition, we discuss an optical
experiment of a polarization qubit to demonstrate its nonclassicality in terms
of the quasiprobability function.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, journal versio
