Causality in quantum teleportation: Information extraction and noise effects in entanglement distribution

Quantum teleportation is possible because entanglement allows a definition of precise correlations between the noncommuting properties of a local system and corresponding noncommuting properties of a remote system. In this paper, the exact causality achieved by maximal entanglement is analyzed and the results are applied to the transfer of effects acting on the entanglement distribution channels to the teleported output state. In particular, it is shown how measurements performed on the entangled system distributed to the sender provide information on the teleported state while transferring the corresponding backaction to the teleported quantum state.
