Quantum teleportation with pair-coherent states

Recently, it has been argued that all presently performed continuous variable quantum teleportation experiments could be explained using a local hidden variable theory. In this paper, we study a modification of the original protocol which requires a fully quantum mechanical explanation even when coherent states are teleported. Our calculations of the fidelity of teleportation using a pair-coherent state under ideal conditions suggest that fidelity above the required limit of 1/2 may be achievable in an experiment also.
