Quantum steering as resource of quantum teleportation

Quantum steering, which lies between Bell nonlocality and entanglement, is a characteristic quantum correlation. Its application in quantum information tasks is worth pursuing. In this paper, we investigate the application of quantum steering as resource of quantum teleportation. It is found that two-qubit states violating the three-setting linear steering inequality are always useful for teleportation. Some steerable states which obey the Bell–Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality could be used for teleportation. Two-qubit states that are optimal for quantum teleportation for a fixed amount of steering are present. The optimal states achieve the maximal average fidelity and also exhibit zero fidelity deviation.
