Comment on Quantum teleportation and information splitting via four-qubit cluster state and a Bell state

Abstract: We study the quantum controlled and probabilistic teleportation protocol via a four-cluster state (Front. Phys. (2017) 12: 120306). The protocol cannot achieve the goal that if the teleportation fails, it can be repeated without copies of the teleported state. And the reason is that all the information of the teleported state shifts to the receiver's particle after Bell measurement and the information cannot shift back to the sender without other entangled states. To realize the claimed goal, a new quantum controlled and probabilistic teleportation protocol using the same four-cluster state is presented. Because no information of the teleported stated is lost during the whole teleportation process, the teleportation process can be repeated until the teleportation success.
