Improvement on Quantum Teleportation of Three and Four Qubit States Using Multi-Qubit Cluster States

In 2016, Li et al. [Int. J. Theor. Phys. 55, 1820–1823 (2016)] proposed schemes for quantum teleportation of certain class of three and four qubit states by utilizing four- and five- qubit cluster states, respectively, as the quantum channels. Moreover, their teleportation-schemes necessitates multi-qubit entangled states. In the present study, it has been demonstrated that these authors committed trivial errors while designing their teleportation schemes and, hence, quantum teleportation could not be perfectly achieved. It is seen that the tasks of teleporting aforementioned class of three and four qubit states can be accomplished by applying only a two-qubit maximally entangled states, i.e., single Bell state as the quantum channel. It is, therefore, an improvement on Li et al. teleportation-schemes is proposed, which not only reduces quantum resource consumption but also operation complexity.
