Summary: | Quantum teleportation faithfully transfers the quantum state of a physical system, instead of the system itself, which underlies the proposal of global quantum communication network. In this paper, we propose a faithful multi-hop quantum communication scheme. In a quantum network, different types of Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states are previously shared on quantum links. To implement qubits transmission, the sender and intermediate nodes perform quantum measurements in parallel, and then send their measurement results and the types of previously shared GHZ states to the receiver independently. A general formula is deduced for the receiver, who chooses an appropriate unitary operation to perform on the local particle, the original qubit can be retrieved. Our scheme shows advantages in quantum communication delay.
