Three-qubit mixed states are used as a channel for controlled quantum teleportation (CQT) of single-qubit states. The connection between different channel parameters to achieve maximum controlled teleportation fidelity is investigated. We show that for a given multipartite entanglement and mixedness a class of non-maximally-entangled mixed
X states (
X-NMEMS) achieves optimum controlled quantum teleportation fidelity; interestingly a class of maximally entangled mixed
X states (
X-MEMS) fails to do so. This demonstrates, for a given spectrum and mixedness, that
X-MEMS are not sufficient to attain optimum controlled quantum teleportation fidelity, which is in contradiction with the traditional quantum teleportation of single qubits. In addition, we show that biseparable
X-NMEMS, for a certain range of mixedness, are useful as a resource to attain high controlled quantum teleportation fidelity, which essentially lowers the requirements of quantum channels for CQT.
We introduce some new perfect state transfer and teleportation schemes by quantum walks with two coins. Encoding the transferred information in coin 1 state and alternatively using two coin operators, we can perfectly recover the information on coin 1 state at target position only by at most two times of flipping operation. Based on quantum walks with two coins either on the line or on the
N-circle, we can perfectly transfer any qubit state. In addition, using quantum walks with two coins either on complete graphs or regular graphs, we can first implement perfect qudit state transfer by quantum walks. Compared with existing schemes driven by one coin, more general graph structures can be used to perfectly transfer more general state. Moreover, the external control of coin operator during the transmitting process can be decreased greatly. Selecting coin 1 as the sender and coin 2 as the receiver, we also study how to realize generalized teleportation over long steps of walks by the above quantum walk models. Because quantum walks is an universal quantum computation model, our schemes may provide an universal platform for the design of quantum network and quantum computer.
