In this paper, we present a novel scheme for bidirectional and hybrid quantum information transmission via a seven-qubit state. We demonstrate that under the control of the supervisor two distant participants can simultaneously and deterministically exchange their states with each other no matter whether they know the states or not. In our scheme, Alice can teleport an arbitrary single-qubit state (two-qubit state) to Bob and Bob can prepare a known two-qubit state (single-qubit state) for Alice simultaneously via the control of the supervisor Charlie. Compared with previous studies for single bidirectional quantum teleportation or single bidirectional remote state preparation schemes, our protocol is a kind of hybrid approach for quantum information transmission. Furthermore, it achieves success with unit probability. Notably, since only pauli operations and two-qubit and single-qubit measurements are used in our schemes, it is flexible in physical experiments.
