Teleportation of an Unknown Three-Particle Entangled State via a Cluster State

Two schemes of teleporting an unknown three-particle entangled state from the sender (Alice) to the receiver (Bob) are proposed. In both schemes, a four-particle maximally entangled cluster state and a four-particle non-maximally entangled cluster state are used quantum channel, respectively. It is shown that if the quantum channel is the maximally entangled cluster state, the unknown three-particle entangled state can be teleported perfectly with the successful probability is 1; if the quantum channel is the non-maximally entangled cluster state, the probability of successful teleportation is determined by two smaller superposition coefficients.
