The data shows the polarisation of the teleported photon as a function of the delay between the arrival of photon 1 and 2 at ALICE's beamsplitter (when translating the retroflecting UV-mirror). Only around zero delay interference occurs and allows registration of a Bell-state.

The polarization of photon 3 is analyzed if detector p has indicated that there is a photon to be teleported and if ALICE's Bell-state analyzer has registered the state . Photon 3 shows the polarization defined by the polarizer acting on photon 1.

The polarization, without any background subtraction, is 70%±3%. The results for the two non-orthogonal states (45° and 90°) proves teleportation of the quantum state of a single photon.
