Abstract

In this article, quantum teleportation schemes of a single qubit, two-qubit and N-qubit state are presented in a multihop communication network. All the schemes can be completed deterministicly. The shared entanglement resource between two adjacent nodes is the composition of the asymmetric W state and Bell state. It is not equivalent to the composite of GHZ state and Bell state used by Zou et al. (Phys. Lett. A 381, 76–81 2017).

The distribution of particles are presented in this section. In all of figures from Figs. 2 to 6, a black dot denotes a qubit. If there is a real line between two dots, it means that the two qubits are entangled. Qubits in a same rectangle belong to one communication node.
