We show that perfect quantum teleportation can be achieved with mixed photon polarization states when nonlocal memory effects influence the dynamics of the quantum system. The protocol is carried out with a pair of photons, whose initial…

Quantum entanglement is the basic resource for most quantum information schemes. A fundamental problem of using photonic states as carriers of quantum information is that they interact weakly with matter and that the interaction volume is…
