Deterministic joint remote preparation of an arbitrary three-qubit state via Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen pairs with a passive receiver

Yan Xia, Qing-Qin Chen and Nguyen Ba An

In this work, a useful protocol for deterministic joint remote preparation of an arbitrary three-qubit state using only Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen pairs is put forward. Our protocol, in clear contrast with a previous one, works for a receiver who, due to limited local equipments, is unable to carry out any measurements and controlled-NOT gates as well as to send classical communication. Therefore, the practical merit of our protocol is that it is applicable to situations in which the receiver has insufficient resource to meet the demand.
