RETRACTED ARTICLE: Probabilistic Teleportation of Three-Qubit Entangled State via Five-qubit Cluster State

A scheme for probabilistic teleportation of an unknown three-qubit entangled state via a five-qubit non-maximally entangled cluster state as quantum channel is proposed. In this scheme, the sender performs two Bell state and a single-qubit measurements on the qubits, the receiver can reconstruct the original state with a certain probability by making appropriate unitary transformations and controlled-not (C-not) operations. As a result, the probability of successful teleportation is determined by the smallest two of the coefficients’ absolute values of the cluster state. The considerable advantage of our scheme is that we employ a non-maximally entangled cluster state as quantum channel in the scheme, which can greatly reduce the amount of entanglement resources and need less classical bits.
