Multi-hop joint remote state preparation of general hybrid entangled multi-qudit states via distinct Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen channels

Abstract

Joint Remote State Preparation provides a useful way to securely transfer the known quantum states to the distant nodes. However, the limitation of resources often leads to the quantum channels constructed by distributed entangled pairs being incompatible with the transmitted states. In order to overcome this problem, a novel Joint Remote State Preparation protocol was proposed for transmitting general multi-qudit states over quantum networks, providing a promising pathway to utilise the available Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) channels with different levels. Several scenarios under noisy environments were discussed and some properties of the fidelity when transmitting the multi-qudit state were demonstrated. It was demonstrated that both the prepared state and the kind of the noises could restrict the number of the participant nodes. Our scheme leverages the existing quantum resources, which addresses the issue of insufficient entanglement resources. This approach is easily adaptable to other quantum network structures, offering a potential solution for constructing a universal quantum network.
