Bidirectional quantum teleportation and cyclic quantum teleportation of multi-qubit entangled states via G-state

Abstract

We propose a novel scheme for faithful bidirectional quantum teleportation (BQT) in which Alice can transmit an unknown N-qubit entangled state to Bob and at the same time Bob can transmit an unknown M-qubit entangled state to Alice by using a four-qubit entangled G-state as a quantum channel. We also propose a new scheme for cyclic QT of multi-qubit entangled states by using two G-states as a quantum channel. The advantage of our schemes is that it seems to be much simpler and requires reduced number of qubits in quantum channel as compared with the other proposed schemes.
