Versatile and controlled quantum teleportation network

Abstract

A quantum teleportation network involving multiple users is essential for future quantum internet. So far, controlled quantum teleportation has been demonstrated in a three-user network. However, versatile and controlled quantum teleportation network involving more users is in demand, which satisfies diff erent combinations of users for practical requirements. Here we propose a highly versatile and controlled teleportation network that can switch among various combinations of diff erent users. We use a single continuous-variable six-partite Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) state to realize such a task by choosing the diff erent measurement and feedback operations. The controlled teleportation network, which includes one sub-network, two sub-networks and three sub-networks, can be realized for diff erent application of user combinations. Furthermore, the coherent feedback control (CFC) can manipulate and improve the teleportation performance. Our approach is flexible, scalable, and would provide a versatile platform for demonstrations of complex quantum communication and quantum computing protocols.
