Abstract By using a proper positive operator-valued measure (POVM), we present two new schemes for probabilistic transmission with non-maximally four-particle cluster states. In the first scheme, we demonstrate that two non-maximally four-particle cluster states can be used to realize probabilistically sharing an unknown three-particle GHZ-type state within either distant agent’s place. In the second protocol, we demonstrate that a non-maximally four-particle cluster state can be used to teleport an arbitrary unknown multi-particle state in a probabilistic manner with appropriate unitary operations and POVM. Moreover the total success probability of these two schemes are also worked out. Keywords Quantum task · Non-maximally cluster state · Positive operator-valued measurement · Bell-basis measurement

1 Introduction Quantum teleportation, the disembodied transport of a quantum state based on the nonlocal properties of an entangled state resource, has been demonstrated to be one of the most peculiar and fascinating aspects of quantum information theory. After Bennett et al. [1] have proposed the teleportation theory, quantum teleportation has played an important role in the rapidly evolving quantum information and quantum communications. It may have applications in quantum cryptography [2–4], quantum computer [5, 6] and quantum dense coding [7]. Moving beyond the teleportation of one-particle or two-particle unknown states, J.-Y.

some studies have focused on the transmission of a multi-particle state [8–12], probabilistic teleportation [13, 14] and controlled teleportation [15–18]. In these studies the quantum entangled state as quantum channel is the key physical resource, such as GHZ states [19], W states [20, 21], Graph states [22], non-maximally entangled states [23], and so on. As a result, the QSTS schemes can be classified into two types. One only deals with the deterministic manner, where pure entangled states are employed [18, 20, 24, 25]; while the other deals with the probabilistic manner, where partly pure entangled states are used [26, 27]. However, not all entangled states can be used to implement perfect teleportation, and that whether or not an entangled state can implement teleportation is determined by its entanglement properties [28]. Hence teleportation can also reveal some propert
