Quantum teleportation of single-mode thermal state of light field

The quantum teleportation of a single-mode thermal state of a light field is discussed using the projection synthesis technique in the Schrodinger picture. The statistical distance (SD) between the teleported input and output states is introduced to evaluate the efficiency of single-mode thermal state teleportation. For a given system and available entanglement, both the SD and classical boundary depend on the mean photon numbers of the teleported thermal light field. The dependences of the SD on the normalized classical gain, EPR (Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen) entanglement and mean photon numbers of the thermal field are calculated.
