Teleportation of arbitrary three-particle GHZ state using single three-particle maximal GHZ state or two EPR states

Abstract

Two schemes, using respectively the single three-particle maximal Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state and the two Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) states as quantum channels, for deterministic teleportation of arbitrary three-particle GHZ state are proposed. These schemes are also generalized into the case of teleportation of arbitrary n-particle GHZ state (n≥4). The fidelity of teleportation when the quantum channels are affected by noise is discussed. It is found that when using single three-particle GHZ state which is affected by noise as quantum channel, the fidelity of teleportation is only related to the entanglement of the channel. However, when using two EPR states which is affected by noise as quantum channels, the fidelity of teleportation is related to the entanglement of both the channels and the unknown state to be delivered. Compared with previous proposals, our schemes require a reduced number of entangled states as quantum channels to achieve the same task.
