Abstract

We present a practical scheme for deterministically teleporting quantum information via probabilistic communication channels in a centralized quantum switch network. In the network, a central quantum switch agent is assigned for regulating probabilistic channels so as to construct a direct deterministic channel between the sender and the receiver. This scheme is further extended to a hierarchical network and a tree network involving multiple agents. The advantage of the scheme is that all required multi qubit gates from distributed terminal agents are uniformly performed by a central agent, with which the physical design of terminal nodes is greatly simplified and more reliable deterministic teleportation can be realized in a centralized quantum probabilistic network.
