Abstract
In this paper, two new theoretical schemes of the arbitrary single-qubit states are presented. One is bidirectional multi-output quantum teleportation via an eight-qubit entangled state as the quantum channel, where Alice and Bob are not only senders but also receivers, and Alice is able to simultaneously transmit different arbitrary unknown single-qubit states to receivers Bob and Charlie, respectively, while Bob can also simultaneously teleport different single-qubit states to receivers Alice and David, respectively. The other is four-party bidirectional quantum multicast communication, where a twelve-qubit entangled state is employed as the quantum channel to prepare single-qubit states remotely in a bidirectional fashion. In this scheme, four participants are both senders and receivers, and Alice and David jointly help Bob and Charlie to prepare their respective known single-qubit states separately and remotely; meanwhile, Bob and Charlie also work together to assist Alice and David in remotely preparing their respective known single-qubit states, respectively. We demonstrate that our schemes are deterministic, ensuring that both bidirectional multi-output quantum communications achieve a 100% overall success probability.
