Quantum entanglement and teleportation in superposition of multiple-photon-added two-mode squeezed vacuum state

Abstract

In this paper, a new state called superposition of multiple-photon-added two-mode squeezed vacuum state (SMPA-TMSVS) is introduced by adding the multiple photons to both modes of a two-mode squeezed vacuum state (TMSVS). We explicitly investigate the degree of quantum entanglement, the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) correlation and the quantum steering in the SMPA-TMSVS. The results show in the SMPA-TMSVS that the degree of entanglement and the EPR correlation can be enhanced by nonlocal adding photons to a TMSVS. The quantum steering appears in the SMPA-TMSVS in case the superposition of single-photon addition [Formula: see text], in which mode [Formula: see text] can steer mode [Formula: see text]. By using the SMPA-TMSVS as an entangled resource, the quantum teleportation process is studied in detail based on the Vaidman–Braunstein–Kimble (VBK) protocol.
