Abstract

We investigate quantum teleportation of a single-qubit state for the situation in which both qubits of the entangled channel are subjected to local structured reservoirs. We consider the effect of entanglement sudden death (ESD) of the channel on the average fidelity of the teleportation. It is shown the appearance of ESD leads to an abrupt variation of the fidelity of quantum teleportation. In addition, we show the fidelity exhibits oscillations in the non-Markovian reservoir due to the memory effect of the reservoir.
