An Optimized Bidirectional Quantum Teleportation Scheme with the use of Bell states

Abstract

Bidirectional quantum teleportation scheme is a two-way quantum communication process, in which two parties simultaneously receive each other information. Recently, in paper [1] (Zhou et al., IEEE Access, 7, 44269 (2019)), a six-qubit cluster state has been used to teleport three-qubit entangled state (Alice) and arbitrary single-qubit unknown quantum state (Bob) bidirectionally. An experimental point of view, the preparation and the maintenance of cluster type entangled state is very difficult and costly. So, in this paper we have designed an optimal scheme for bidirectional quantum teleportation scheme and shown that proposed scheme requires optimized amount of quantum resources.
