Benchmarking a Teleportation Protocol realized in Circuit QED

Teleportation of a quantum state may be used for distributing entanglement between distant qubits in quantum communication and for realizing universal and fault-tolerant quantum computation. Here we demonstrate the implementation of a teleportation protocol, up to the single-shot measurement step, with superconducting qubits coupled to a microwave resonator [1]. Using full quantum state tomography and evaluating an entanglement witness, we show that the protocol generates a genuine tripartite entangled state of all three-qubits. Calculating the projection of the measured density matrix onto the basis states of two qubits allows us to reconstruct the teleported state. Repeating this procedure for a complete set of input states we find an average output state fidelity of 86\% for the teleported state.\newline [1] M.~Baur, A.~Fedorov, L.~Steffen, S.~Filipp, M.P.~da~Silva, and A.~Wallraff, arXiv:1107.4774.
