Deterministic Joint Remote Preparation of an Arbitrary Two-Qubit State Using the Cluster State

Recently, deterministic joint remote state preparation (JRSP) schemes have been proposed to achieve 100% success probability. In this paper, we propose a new version of deterministic JRSP scheme of an arbitrary two-qubit state by using the six-qubit cluster state as shared quantum resource. Compared with previous schemes, our scheme has high efficiency since less quantum resource is required, some additional unitary operations and measurements are unnecessary. We point out that the existing two types of deterministic JRSP schemes based on GHZ states and EPR pairs are equivalent.
