Abstract

With the rapid development of quantum networks, cyclic quantum information transmission provides a good solution for multi-party quantum communication. In this paper, by integrating the ideas of remote preparation with quantum teleportation, a neoteric multi-party controlled cyclic hybrid quantum communication protocol with \(n(n\ge 3)\) observers is designed. In the protocol, by sharing an entangled quantum channel, each of these observers can simultaneously send two completely disparate arbitrary single-qubit quantum states to her adjacent observers under the assistance of the controller. It can realize bidirectional and cyclic transmission of any single-qubit states between observers. The observers only need to employ simple measurements and basic local unitary operations to implement the communication task, and our scheme can achieve a unit success probability. Furthermore, we provide a four-party controlled cyclic hybrid quantum communication scheme with three observers, and we also take into account the two kinds of important decoherent noises (amplitude damping and phase damping noises) that affect the proposed four-party communication protocol. Finally, by calculating the fidelity, it is discovered that the fidelity of the output state has something to do with the parameters of the initial states as well as the noise decoherence rate.
