We verify that the optimal probability of successful teleportation is determined by the smallest superposition coefficient of these partially entangled particles. However, the two-qubit entangled state to be teleported will be destroyed if teleportation fails. To solve this problem, we show a more sophisticated probabilistic resumable quantum teleportation scheme of a two-qubit entangled state, where the state to be teleported can be recovered by the sender when teleportation fails. Thus the information of the unknown state is retained during the process. Accordingly, we can repeat the teleportion process as many times as one has available quantum channels. Therefore, the quantum channels with weak entanglement can also be used to teleport unknown two-qubit entangled states successfully with a high number of repetitions, and for channels with strong entanglement only a small number of repetitions are required to guarantee successful teleportation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e21040352","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,3]],"date-time":"2019-04-03T03:39:28Z","timestamp":1554262768000},"page":"352","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Probabilistic Resumable Quantum Teleportation of a Two-Qubit Entangled State"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Zhan-Yun","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Engineering, Xi\u2019an University of Posts and Telecommunications, Xi\u2019an 710121, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yi-Tao","family":"Gou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics, Northwest University, Xi\u2019an 710127, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jin-Xing","family":"Hou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Modern Physics, Northwest University, Xi\u2019an 710127, China"},{"name":"Shaanxi Key Laboratory for Theoretical Physics Frontiers, Xi\u2019an 710127, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Li-Ke","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics, Northwest University, Xi\u2019an 710127, China"},{"name":"Shaanxi Key Laboratory for Theoretical Physics Frontiers, Xi\u2019an 710127, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiao-Hui","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics, Northwest University, Xi\u2019an 710127, China"},{"name":"Shaanxi Key Laboratory for Theoretical Physics Frontiers, Xi\u2019an 710127, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1895","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevLett.70.1895","article-title":"Teleporting an unknown quantum state via dual classical and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen channels","volume":"70","author":"Bennett","year":"1993","journal-title":"Phys.
