Probabilistically Controlled Teleportation of an Arbitrary Two-Qubit State via Positive Operator-Valued Measure

We propose a tripartite scheme for probabilistically teleporting an arbitrary two-qubit state with a four-qubit cluster-class state and a Bell-class state as the quantum channels. In the scheme, the sender and the controller make Bell-state measurements (BSMs) on their respective qubit pairs. With their measurement results, the receiver can reconstruct the original state probabilistically by introducing two auxiliary particles and making appropriate unitary operations and positive operator-valued measure (POVM) instead of usual projective measurement. Moreover, the total success probability and classical communication cost of the present protocol are also worked out. (general)
