Teleportation of an arbitrary three-atom W state through two entangled pairs

Abstract
A scheme for teleporting a three-atom entangled Wstate is proposed,in which the quantum channels are composed of two EinsteinPodolsky-Rosen(EPR) pairs,and that can be popularized to teleport an arbitrary N-atom(N≥4) Wstate.Two ways of carrying out the proposal are investigated,and a new thought of teleportation,disentangle-teleport-reconstruct entanglement,is given.The fidelity of teleportation,when the quantum channels are affected by noise,is studied.The result reveals that the fidelity of teleportation is not only related to the entanglement of channel but also to the concurrence of reduced density matrix of certain subsystem of delivered state,when the quantum channels with two maximal entanglement pairs are affected by noise.Besides,compared with previous schemes,this scheme has advantages,such as easily operating and saving entanglement resources of quantum channels.
