After the first Bell-basis measurement and the announced correction, the shared Werner state has visibility . Ideal quantum teleportation through that resource is the depolarizing channelOne way to see this is to separate the singlet branch, which teleports perfectly with the appropriate known correction convention, from , which has no correlations and yields .
The additional Bell-basis measurement at Alice's station has its own independent reliable branch of probability . In its random-label branch the correction averages the four Pauli gates, again giving . Hence the actual teleported density matrix isOn sifted BB84 rounds, Bob measures in Alice's preparation basis. The preserved component gives the correct bit with certainty; the maximally mixed component gives an error with probability . ThereforeFor it vanishes; if either parameter is zero it is . The result presumes successful full Bell-basis measurement outcomes and independent stated imperfections, without extra loss, polarization drift or dark counts.
