Remote state preparation via a GHZ-class state in noisy environments

Abstract

Using a GHZ-class state as a quantum channel, we investigate the remote preparation of a qubit state and that of an entangled state in noisy environments. By analytically solving the master equation in Lindblad form, we first obtain the time evolution of the GHZ-class quantum channel. Then the influence of the noises on the process of remote state preparation is considered through analytical derivation of the fidelity and numerical calculations of the corresponding average fidelity. Our results show that the fidelity depends on the noise type, the state to be remotely prepared, the GHZ-class state and the decoherence rate. Moreover, it is found that no matter whether the qubit state or the entangled state is to be remotely prepared, the maximally entangled quantum channel has a relatively stronger ability to resist the influence of noises. Besides, the effect of the bit–phase flip noise on the average fidelity is relatively stronger than that of the bit flip noise or phase flip noise.
