In the first scheme, the quantum channels are shared by the sender and the recipient. After the sender＇s Bell-state measurements on his （her） particles, the recipient carries out unitary transformations on his （her） particles. And then, the recipient performs computational basis measurements to realize the teleportation. The recipient can recover the state on either of particle sequences with the equal maximal probability of successful teleportation if he （she） performs appropriate unitary transformations. In the second scheme, the quantum channels are shared by the sender, the recipient and the third ones. After the sender＇s Be11-state measurements and the third ones＇ computational basis measurements if they agree to cooperate, the recipient will introduce auxiliary particles and carry out appropriate unitary transformations. Finally, the recipient performs computational basis measurements to fulfill the teleportation. The second scheme can be realized if and only if the third ones agree to cooperate with the recipient.展开更多
