On Bell measurements for teleportation

Quantum Physics 2016-08-15 v2

Abstract

In this paper we investigate the possibility to make complete Bell measurements on a product Hilbert space of two two-level bosonic systems. We restrict our tools to linear elements, like beam splitters and phase shifters, delay lines and electronically switched linear elements, photo-detectors, and auxiliary bosons. As a result we show that with these tools a never failing Bell measurement is impossible.
