Comment on "Direct counterfactual transmission of a quantum state"

Abstract

The protocol for counterfactual transmission of a qubit [Li et al., Phys. Rev. A 92, 052315 (2015)] relies on the counterfactuality of transmissions of bit 1 and of bit 0. Since counterfactuality of transmission of bit 0 is not established, the claim of counterfactuality of transmission of a quantum state is not founded.

Slightly revised in the long referee process, to be published in PRA
