Quantum teleportation has evolved from single-qubit, unidirectional communication to multi-qubit and multidirectional protocols. However, most existing schemes rely on protocol-specific entangled resources, motivating the development of universal quantum channels capable of supporting multiple communication tasks simultaneously. In this work, we demonstrate that a single twelve-qubit entangled channel exhibits such versatility by enabling the bidirectional teleportation of arbitrary three-qubit states and the cyclic teleportation of arbitrary two-qubit states through local Bell-state measurements and single-qubit operations. Both protocols are further generalized to multi-qubit and multi-party configurations, establishing the scalability of the proposed framework. To assess its practical applicability, the protocols are analyzed under amplitude-damping, phase-damping, bit-flip, phase-flip, and depolarizing noise channels by plotting the teleportation fidelity as a function of both the input-state parameters and noise strength. The analysis reveals distinct noise sensitivities, with the bidirectional protocol remaining perfectly faithful under bit-flip noise for all input states and noise strengths, while the cyclic protocol is consistently more vulnerable to environmental disturbances. The proposed schemes achieve an intrinsic efficiency of $25\%$, which is compared with several existing protocols. The framework therefore provides a scalable and resource-efficient approach to unified quantum communication in realistic noisy quantum networks.

Abstract This work presents a three-party cyclic quantum teleportation protocol realized through a nine-qubit resource state. In this framework, Alice, Bob, and Charlie simultaneously exchange their respective unknown two-qubit entangled states in a closed-loop configuration using local Bell-state measurements and single-qubit operations with each participant acting as both sender and receiver. We show that the direction of information transfer can be reversed by suitably reallocating the channel qubits among the users, without needing to change the channel state altogether. The scheme is further generalized to an N -party network, enabling cyclic exchange of quantum information through a suitably extended channel. We further demonstrate the practical viability by implementing the proposed nine-qubit quantum channel on a real quantum processor, allowing characterization of its behaviour under realistic hardware noise. The protocol was simulated incorporating five standard noise models were performed to study the teleportation fidelity as a function of both the noise strength and the input-state amplitudes, revealing a clear dependence on initial-state parameters and decoherence rates. Finally, the intrinsic efficiency of the protocol was evaluated and found to surpass that of existing approaches, highlighting its promise for scalable multi-party quantum communication networks.
Abstract We propose two novel protocols for bidirectional quantum teleportation (BQT) of qutrit states in multi-party settings: a cyclic BQT protocol enabling simultaneous state exchange among three or more users, and a controlled BQT protocol incorporating a supervisory authorization mechanism. Both protocols leverage optimized multi-qutrit entangled channels and deterministic measurement-based correction schemes. We derive exact analytical expressions for the state-independent average fidelities under all four types of three-dimensional Pauli-like noise channels: trit-flip, t-phase-flip, trit-phase-flip, and t-depolarizing. Our results demonstrate a linear fidelity degradation with noise parameter p , yet both protocols maintain superior resource efficiency and security compared to conventional two-party BQT. The cyclic protocol achieves a 33% reduction in entanglement resource consumption compared to sequential two-party implementations, while the controlled protocol ensures unconditional security against unauthorized access. These advances establish a practical framework for high-dimensional quantum networks and secure distributed quantum applications.
In this paper, by using eleven entangled quantum states as a quantum channel, we propose a cyclic and asymmetric novel protocol for four participants in which both Alice and Bob can transmit two-qubit states, and Charlie can transmit three-qubit states with the assistance of the supervisor David, who provides a guarantee for communication security. This protocol is based on GHZ state measurement (GHZ), single-qubit measurement (SM), and unitary operations (UO) to implement the communication task. The analysis demonstrates that the success probability of the proposed protocol can reach 100%. Furthermore, considering that in actual production environments, it is difficult to avoid the occurrence of noise in quantum channels, this paper also analyzes the changes in fidelity in four types of noisy scenarios: bit-flip noise, phase-flip noise, bit-phase-flip noise, and depolarizing noise. Showing that communication quality only depends on the amplitude parameters of the initial state and decoherence rate. Additionally, we give a comparison with previous similar schemes in terms of achieved method and intrinsic efficiency, which illustrates the superiority of our protocol. Finally, in response to the vulnerability of quantum channels to external attacks, a security analysis was conducted, and corresponding defensive measures were proposed.
The quantum teleportation is an emerging communication technology based on the principles of quantum mechanics. It utilizes the properties of quantum entanglement and quantum superposition to achieve secure transmission of information. Most of the current quantum teleportation protocols are analyzed under ideal environment, and merely realized the transmission of either single or two particle unknown quantum states between two participants. In this paper, by using eleven entangled quantum states as a quantum channel, we propose a cyclic and asymmetric novel protocol for four participants. The communication task is achieved by employing GHZ state measurement (GHZ), single-qubit measurement (SM), and unitary operations (UO) as the foundation of this protocol. Analysis demonstrates that the success probability of the proposed protocol can reach 100%. Furthermore, considering that in actual production environments, it is difficult to avoid the occurrence of noise in quantum channels, this paper also analyzes the changes in fidelity in two types of noisy scenarios: bit-flip noise, phase-flip noise. Showing that communication quality only depends on the amplitude parameters of the initial state and decoherence rate. Finally, we give a comparison with previous similar schemes in terms of achieved method and intrinsic efficiency, which illustrates the superiority of our protocol.
In this paper, a scheme for cyclic hybrid double-channel quantum communication is proposed by using the product state of three Bell states and three Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states as the quantum channel. It shows that Alice teleports a single-qubit state to Bob and prepares a single-qubit state for Charlie, Bob teleports a single-qubit state to Charlie and prepares a single-qubit state for Alice, while Charlie teleports a single-qubit state to Alice and prepares a single-qubit state for Bob. The quantum channel is constructed by using Hadamard (H) and Controlled-NOT (CNOT) operations. Participants reconstruct the desired states by performing Bell-state measurements, single-qubit measurements, and unitary transformations. Compared with existing schemes, this new scheme improves the efficiency and capacity of quantum communication because it constructs a cyclic and bidirectional quantum communication and simultaneously supports two communication protocols, quantum teleportation and remote state preparation. Only single-qubit measurements, two-qubit measurements, and basic unitary transformations are utilized in the scheme, so our operation complexity is lower than others. Thus, the scheme is likely to be implemented through physical experiments in the future. Besides this, we discuss the impact of noisy environments (amplitude-damping, phase-damping noise, bit-flip noise, and phase-flip noise) in the scheme and calculate the fidelities of the output states. It is demonstrated that the fidelities only depend on the coefficients of the initial state and the decoherence rate.
Quantum teleportation have a central role in quantum information science and allows transferring of an unknown quantum state through entanglement and classical communication. Unfortunately, the interaction with external and internal noise severely affects the quality of teleportation and poses limitations on practical applications of quantum communication networks. In this work, instead of conventional Bell teleportation, we introduce a Machine Learned adaptive protocol for optimizing multiple components of Quantum Teleportation in order to achieve higher fidelity in various noise environments. In order to demonstrate the performance of the proposed scheme, we study three different noise models, including bit-flip, amplitude damping, and depolarizing noise, both in case of single-qubit and two-qubit channels. As a result, we observe substantial improvement in the teleportation fidelity in comparison to the classical Bell-state teleportation protocol in certain noise conditions. Furthermore, the machine-learned protocol reveals a nontrivial strategy for compensation of decoherence and information losses. In addition, obtained results indicate the flexibility and reliability of the proposed framework for implementing various adaptive quantum communications while shedding light on possibilities of discovery of optimal quantum algorithms by means of automated approache
