This book offers a design-centered approach to quantum teleportation as well as in-depth analysis of various quantum teleportation schemes. Quantum teleportation, a vital component of practical quantum communication technologies, serves as a secure and reliable way to transmit confidential information. Quantum teleportation relies on the unique physical property of quantum superposition, accomplishing the remote transmission of information through unitary transformations and measurements on entangled states, combined with classical communication. Therefore, as one of the safe and reliable means of quantum state transmission between communicating parties, quantum teleportation is bound to play a vital role in future quantum communication. This book begins with the basics of quantum teleportation before going on to consider various refinements such as controlled, bidirectional, cyclic, symmetric, and asymmetric scenarios. It goes further, investigating a multitude of quantum teleportation schemes in bidirectional, controlled bidirectional, cyclic bidirectional, asymmetric cyclic controlled, and noisy environments, and conducts detailed performance analyses of these schemes. This book is an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals in the field of quantum communications.
