Abstract

Quantum communication networks can be built on quantum teleportation, which is the transmission of an unknown quantum state from a sending station to a remote receiving station supported by entangled states and classical communication. We use a continuous variable two-mode squeezed vacuum state as a resource state for the quantum teleportation. This state is shared by Alice and Bob, and their system comes into contact with a squeezed thermal environment. The conditions for a secure quantum teleportation require a teleportation fidelity larger than 2/3 and two-way steering of the resource state. We investigate the time evolution of the steering and the fidelity of teleportation in order to determine the values of the parameters required for a successful secure quantum teleportation of a coherent Gaussian state. We show that the temperature, dissipation rate and squeezing parameter of the squeezed thermal reservoir limit the feasible duration for secure quantum teleportation, while by increasing the squeezing parameter of the initial state one can effectively expand the temporal range for a successful secure quantum teleportation.
