Abstract

We present two schemes for teleporting a three-particle W state by using four-particle state. We consider that the quantum channel is a maximally entangled state (four-particle cluster state) or a non-maximally entangled state. In our schemes, it is necessary to introduce additional particle and construct unitary transformation for realize perfect or probabilistic teleportation of the three-particle W state. In order to transmit target state successfully, Alice firstly performs two controlled-NOT on the initial state. The success probabilities of our two schemes are 1 and 4α 2, respectively. Compared with other schemes proposed before, our scheme has higher efficiency.
