Mentor-Initiated Asymmetric Bidirectional Quantum Teleportation Protocol for Arbitrary Qubit States

Abstract

In this paper, a mentor-initiated bidirectional asymmetric quantum teleportation protocol is proposed. Unlike existing schemes that restrict the two-qubit state transmitted from Bob to Alice to a Bell-like form $\alpha|00\rangle+\beta|11\rangle$, our protocol allows an arbitrary two-qubit state to be teleported from Bob to Alice within the mentor-initiated framework. The required entangled resources are constructed using standard quantum gates, and the protocol is illustrated through its quantum-circuit implementation in Qiskit.
