We study representation theory of the partially transposed permutation matrix algebra, a matrix representation of the diagrammatic walled Brauer algebra. This algebra plays a prominent role in mixed Schur-Weyl duality that appears in various contexts in quantum information. Our main technical result is an explicit formula for the action of the walled Brauer algebra generators in the Gelfand-Tsetlin basis. It generalizes the well-known Gelfand-Tsetlin basis for the symmetric group (also known as Young's orthogonal form or Young-Yamanouchi basis). We provide two applications of our result to quantum information. First, we show how to simplify semidefinite optimization problems over unitary-equivariant quantum channels by performing a symmetry reduction. Second, we derive an efficient quantum circuit for implementing the optimal port-based quantum teleportation protocol, exponentially improving the known trivial construction. As a consequence, this also exponentially improves the known lower bound for the amount of entanglement needed to implement unitaries non-locally. Both applications require a generalization of quantum Schur transform to tensors of mixed unitary symmetry. We develop an efficient quantum circuit for this mixed quantum Schur transform and provide a matrix product state representation of its basis vectors. For constant local dimension, this yields an efficient classical algorithm for computing any entry of the mixed quantum Schur transform unitary.
