Optimal Remote Preparation of a Four-Qubit Entangled Cluster-Type State Via Two Non-Maximally Entangled GHZ-Type States

We devise an highly efficient protocol for remotely preparing a four-qubit entangled cluster-type state. In this protocol, two non-maximally entangled GHZ-type states are employed to link the sender Alice and the receiver Bob, and the to-be-prepared state can be reconstructed successfully with the probability of (b 1 b 2)2 in general case. Then to achieve our concerns of constructing efficient remote preparation with higher success probability, some special ensembles of four-qubit states are minutely investigated. As a result, it is shown that the total probability of the RSP protocol, in these particular cases, can be improved to twice or even fourfold as that in general case.
