Robust Multiparty Quantum Secret Key Sharing Over Two Collective-Noise Channels via Three-Photon Mixed States

Abstract

We present a robust (n,n)-threshold scheme for multiparty quantum secret sharing of key over two collective-noise channels (i.e., the collective dephasing channel and the collective rotating channel) via three-photon mixed states. In our scheme, only if all the sharers collaborate together can they establish a joint key with the message sender and extract the secret message from the sender's encrypted message. This scheme can be implemented using only a Bell singlet, a one-qubit state and polarization identification of single photon, so it is completely feasible according to the present-day technique.

Multiparty Quantum Secret Sharing of Key Using Practical Faint Laser Pulses

Zhanjun Zhang, Man Zhong-Xiao

Based on a bidirectional quantum key distribution protocol [Phys. Rev. A 70 (2004) 012311], we propose a ( m −1, m −1)-threshold scheme of m ( m ⩾ 3)-party quantum secret sharing of key by using practical faint laser pulses. In our scheme, if all the m −1 sharers collaborate, they can obtain the joint secret key from the message sender. Our scheme is more feasible according to the present-day technology.

Quantum secret sharing between multiparty and multiparty without entanglement

Fengli Yan, Ting Gao

We propose a quantum secret sharing protocol between multiparty ($m$ members in group 1) and multiparty ($n$ members in group 2) using a sequence of single photons. These single photons are used directly to encode classical information in a quantum secret sharing process. In this protocol, all members in group 1 directly encode their respective keys on the states of single photons via unitary operations; then, the last one (the $m\mathrm{th}$ member of group 1) sends $1∕n$ of the resulting qubits to each of group 2. Thus the secret message shared by all members of group 1 is shared by all members of group 2 in such a way that no subset of each group is efficient to read the secret message, but the entire set (not only group 1 but also group 2) is. We also show that it is unconditionally secure. This protocol is feasible with present-day techniques.

Fault-Tolerate Three-Party Quantum Secret Sharing over a Collective-Noise Channel

Chunyan Li, Yansong Li

We present a fault-tolerate three-party quantum secret sharing (QSS) scheme over a collective-noise channel. Decoherence-free subspaces are used to tolerate two noise modes, a collective-dephasing channel and a collective-rotating channel, respectively. In this scheme, the boss uses two physical qubits to construct a logical qubit which acts as a quantum channel to transmit one bit information to her two agents. The agents can get the information of the private key established by the boss only if they collaborate. The boss Alice encodes information with two unitary operations. Only single-photon measurements are required to rebuilt Alice's information and detect the security by the agents Bob and Charlie, not Bell-state measurements. Moreover, Almost all of the photons are used to distribute information, and its success efficiency approaches 100% in theory.

EFFICIENT FAULT-TOLERANT QUANTUM SECRET SHARING OVER TWO COLLECTIVE-NOISE CHANNELS

Xiao-jiao Duan, RIFENG ZHOU, Xihan Li

Based on the quantum key distribution protocol [X. H. Li, F. G. Deng and H. Y. Zhou, Phys. Rev. A78 (2008) 022321], we proposed two efficient fault-tolerant quantum secret sharing schemes over two collective-noise channels, in which the sharers can establish a key with the sender only if all the sharers collaborate together. Noiseless subspaces are composed of two Bell states based on the hypothesis of collective noise and the spatial degree of freedom is introduced to insure the security. Although entangled states are used to encode the key bits, the sharers are only required to perform single-particle product operations or single-particle product measurement, making the schemes convenient with current technique. As there is no basis mismatch during the measurement, almost all of the samples can be used to share the key.

Multiparty quantum secret sharing

Zhanjun Zhang, Yong Li, Zhong‐Xiao Man

Based on a quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) protocol [Phys. Rev. A 69 052319 (2004)], we propose a $(n,n)$-threshold scheme of multiparty quantum secret sharing of classical messages (QSSCM) using only single photons. We take advantage of this multiparty QSSCM scheme to establish a scheme of multiparty secret sharing of quantum information (SSQI), in which only all quantum information receivers collaborate can the original qubit be reconstructed. A general idea is also proposed for constructing multiparty SSQI schemes from any QSSCM scheme.

We propose a quantum secret sharing protocol between multiparty (mmm members in group 1) and multiparty (nnn members in group 2) using a sequence of single photons.

In this protocol, all members in group 1 directly encode their respective keys on the states of single photons via unitary operations; then, the last one (the mthm\mathrm{th}mth member of group 1) sends 1∕n1∕n1∕n of the resulting qubits to each of group 2.
