Abstract
Abstract We present a novel scheme for hybrid bidirectional controlled quantum communication (HBCQC) using a nine-qubit entangled state as the quantum channel. In this scheme, the two remote parties, Alice and Bob, act as both senders and receivers. Alice seeks to teleport an unknown single-qubit state to Bob; simultaneously, Bob intends to assist Alice in remotely preparing an arbitrary tripartite three-qubit entangled state. It is shown that the HBCQC can be completed successfully only if the two senders and the controller collaborate with one another. This scheme is well-suited for heterogeneous and uncoordinated quantum networks, and it advances both their practical implementation and theoretical foundations.
