Quantum teleportation circumvents the uncertainty principle using dual channels: a quantum one consisting of previously-shared entanglement, and a classical one, together allowing the disembodied transport of an unknown quantum state over distance. It has recently been shown that a classical bit can be counterfactually communicated between two parties in empty space, “Alice” and “Bob”. Here, by using our “dual” version of the chained quantum Zeno effect to achieve a counterfactual CNOT gate, we…

From Counterportation to Local Wormholes
Surprisingly, while such communication is intuitively explained in terms of “interaction-free” measurement and the Zeno effect, it is shown that neither is necessary, with far-reaching implications in support of an underlying physical reality.

Quantum Duplex Coding
• Computer Science, Physics
• 2019
This work devise a distributed controlled NOT (DNOT) operation to transfer information in both directions at the same time to create a new form of full-duplex communication, called quantum duplex coding, that enables communicating parties to exchange either classical or quantum messages simultaneously and counterfactually by means of nonlocal controlled entanglement and/or disentanglement of the DNOT operation.
