Economic scheme for remote preparation of an arbitrary five-qubit Brown-type state

A scheme for remotely preparing an arbitrary five-qubit Brown state by using three three-qubit GHZ states as the quantum channel is proposed. It is shown that, after the sender performs two different three-qubit projective measurements, the receiver should introduce two auxiliary qubits and employ suitable C-NOT gates, Toffoli gate and unitary operations on his qubits, the original state can be recovered with unit probability. Compared with the previous scheme, the advantage of the present scheme is that the entanglement resource can be reduced.
