| Abstract: | We present a protocol for probabilistic remote preparation of a four-particle entangled W state.The quantum channel is composed of two partial entangled four-particle cluster states.We calculate the total successful probability and total classical communication cost required for the general case and for all kinds of the special cases,respectively.It is shown that for two maximally entangled four-particle cluster states,such a scheme for the general case has the total successful probability of 25%and only consumes the total classical communication of 1 bit,while this scheme for the special cases under certain conditions can possess successful probability of 50%or 100%,the required classical communication will only be 2 bits or 4 bits.Meantime,we give in detail all unitary transformations for the general case and for all kinds of the special cases,respectively. |
