Controlled Cyclic Remote State Preparation of Arbitrary Qubit States

Quantum secure communications could securely transmit quantum information by using quantum resource.Recently,novel applications such as bidirectional and asymmetric quantum protocols have been developed.In this paper,we propose a new method for generating entanglement which is highly useful for multiparty quantum communications such as teleportation and Remote State Preparation(RSP).As one of its applications,we propose a new type of quantum secure communications,i.e.cyclic RSP protocols.Starting from a four-party controlled cyclic RSP protocol of one-qubit states,we show that this cyclic protocol can be generalized to a multiparty controlled cyclic RSP protocol for preparation of arbitrary qubit states.We point out that previous bidirectional and asymmetric protocols can be regarded as a simpler form of our cyclic RSP protocols.
