Exact teleportation resource criterion

ID: exact-teleportation-resource-criterion

A shared resource enables deterministic exact transmission of an arbitrary unknown qubit using only local operations and classical communication if and only if it can produce a shared Bell pair deterministically by such operations. Sufficiency follows from quantum teleportation. For necessity, prepare a Bell pair locally at the sender and apply the purported transmission protocol to one half: exact identity-channel action leaves a shared Bell pair between the retained reference and the receiver. A separable shared resource cannot satisfy this condition because local operations and classical communication preserve separability.
