Quantum teleportation of a two-qubit cat-like state via an arbitrary high-dimensional entangled state

The purpose of this paper is to explore how to teleport a low-dimensional (two-dimensional) arbitrary unknown two-qubit cat-like state through a high-dimensional entangled state constituting the quantum channel. We first present a scheme employing a maximally entangled three-qutrit state as the channel. Within this scheme, the sender performs a single-qubit projective measurement and a non-symmetric basis measurement on their particles. Based on these measurement outcomes, the receiver applies specific unitary operations to reconstruct the original cat-like state. Subsequently, the maximally entangled channel is replaced with a non-maximally entangled three-qutrit state. For this probabilistic teleportation scheme, the target state is reconstructed by introducing an auxiliary qubit and performing appropriate operations; the corresponding success probability is derived. Analysis indicates that the non-maximally entangled scheme generalizes the previous maximally entangled approach. Furthermore, both schemes are shown to be directly extendable to quantum channels formed by arbitrary high-dimensional entangled states.
