Teleportation of an Arbitrary Two-Particle State via a Single Cluster-Class State

Abstract
Teleportation of an arbitrary two-qubit state with a single partially entangled state, a four-qubit linear cluster-class state, is studied. The case is more practical than previous ones using maximally entangled states as the quantum channel. In order to realize teleportation, we first construct a cluster-basis of 16 orthonormal cluster states. We show that quantum teleportation can be successfully implemented with a certain probability if the receiver can adopt appropriate unitary transformations after receiving the sender's cluster-basis measurement information. In addition, an important conclusion can be obtained that a four-qubit maximally entangled state (cluster state) can be extracted from a single copy of the cluster-class state with the same probability as the teleportation in principle.
