Abstract
During the last 30 years the scientific community has coexisted with the most fascinating protocol due to Quantum Physics: quantum teleportation, which would have been impossible if quantum entanglement, so questioned by Einstein, did not exist. In this work, a complete architecture for the teleportation of Computational Basis States (CBS) is presented. Such CBS will represent each of the possible 24 classical bits commonly used to encode every pixel of a 3-color-channel image (red–green–blue, or cyan–yellow–magenta). For this purpose, a couple of interfaces: classical-to-quantum and quantum-to-classical are presented with two versions of the teleportation protocol: standard and simplified.
