Generalized Teleportation Protocol

A generalized teleportation protocol (GTP) for N qubits is presented, where the teleportation channels are non-maximally entangled and all the free parameters of the protocol are considered: Alice's measurement basis, her sets of acceptable results, and Bob's unitary operations. The full range of Fidelity (F) of the teleported state and the Probability of Success (P_{suc}) to obtain a given fidelity are achieved by changing these free parameters. A channel efficiency bound is found, where one can determine how to divide it between F and P_{suc}. A one qubit formulation is presented and then expanded to N qubits. A proposed experimental setup that implements the GTP is given using linear optics.
