Quantum teleportation between particlelike and fieldlike qubits using hybrid entanglement under decoherence effects

We study quantum teleportation between two different types of optical qubits, one of which is “particlelike” and the other “fieldlike,” via hybrid entangled states under the effects of decoherence. We find that teleportation from particlelike to fieldlike qubits can be achieved with a higher fidelity than that in the opposite direction. However, teleportation from fieldlike to particlelike qubits is found to be more efficient in terms of the success probabilities. Our study shows that the direction of teleportation should be considered an important factor in developing optical hybrid architectures for quantum information processing.
