Abstract
Recently, David Yevick and I published an article [Othman, A. & Yevick, D. Int J Theor Phys 57, 2293 (2018)] about constructing a superposition of two nearly identical coherent states (near coherent state). We showed that this state becomes a superposition of a derivative state and a coherent state. Here, we use the definition of the derivative state to create the entangled derivative of coherent state (EDCS). We show that this state can be used to teleport qubits encoded in the near coherent states. The decoherence of EDCS is also studied. In addition, we propose an experimental scheme to produce the EDCS and to perform teleportation.
