摘要

We show that an unknown quantum state can be transferred with neither quantum nor classical particle traveling in the transmission channel. Our protocol does not require prearranged entangled photon pairs and Bell measurements. By utilizing quantum Zeno effect and counterfactuality, we can entangle and disentangle a photon and an atom by nonlocal interaction. It is shown that quantum information is completely transferred from an atom to photon due to controllable disentanglement processes. There is no need to cross-check the result via classical channels.
