description This paper solved the problem of transmitting quantum bits (qubits) in a multi-hop and bidirectional way. Considering that the Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) states are less prone to the decoherence effects caused by the surrounding environment, we proposed a bidirectional quantum communication scheme based on quantum teleportation and the composite GHZ-GHZ states. On a multi-hop quantum path, different types of GHZ states are previously shared between the adjacent intermediate nodes. To implement qubit 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. Based on the received information, the receiver performs unitary operations on the local particle, thus retrieving the original qubit. Our scheme can avoid information leakage at the intermediate nodes and can reduce the end-to-end communication delay, in contrast to the hop-by-hop qubit transmission scheme.
