I have some confusion on the Bell-state measurement step of quantum teleportation, it's following:
Let particle B and C be entangled, created by the EPR source, my understanding is, they are created with certain known superposition state, like this |ψBC>=√1/2 (|0A>|1B>+|1A>|0B>) which in this case, A can be 0 or 1 while B is 1 or 0, can be other possibilities, such as A=1 B=1 or A=0 B=0, but this state is known as the entangle pair is created.
And particle A is another particle. As Alice holds A and B, she will perform a Bell state measurement on A and B to project them into certain Bell state (similar to the one B and C has, four possibilities of the outcome), assume this measured Bell state is orthogonal on A and B, like B and C, then we know A must have the same state as C, since B and C are orthogonal, which the receiver of particle C will gain the state of A.
Please correct me if there is any mistake in my understanding.
Here is the part I failed to understand
1:The entangled known state between B and C will remain as the BSM performed on A and B, is this right?
2: It says that in the entire process, Alice will not know the state of A, is it assumed that Alice doesn't know the entangled state between B and C? If she knows, after the BSM, Alice should be able to know the state of A, is this right?
And I assume this is the reason that extra classical information about the measurement is required from Alice to Bob?
Thanks a lot
