Publisher

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a solution based on four-qubit Aharonov state to an old problem by using the property of congruence. The proposed scheme may realize the broadcast among four participants, therefore, it makes progress to the three-party broadcast realized previously. Using pairwise quantum channels and entangled qubits, the detection between these players also can be accomplished. Finally, the feasibility of the protocol and the analysis of security are illustrated.

Experimental Demonstration of a Quantum Protocol for Byzantine Agreement and Liar Detection

Sascha Gaertner, Mohamed Bourennane, Christian Kurtsiefer +2 more

We introduce a new quantum protocol for solving detectable Byzantine agreement (also called detectable broadcast) between three parties, and also for solving the detectable liar detection problem. The protocol is suggested by the properties of a four-qubit entangled state, and the classical part of the protocol is simpler than that of previous proposals. In addition, we present an experimental implementation of the protocol using four-photon entanglement.

Four-party quantum operation sharing with 7-qubit mixing state

Zhanjun Zhang, Hao Yuan, Chuanmei Xie +1 more

In this paper, a four-party quantum operation protocol is proposed using a 7-qubit mixing state, which originates from a 7-qubit Brown state due to a 2-qubit confusion. The security, determinacy, and sharer symmetry, as well as the experiment feasibility of the present protocol, are analyzed and discussed. Notably, the protocol is secure, a quantum operation can be shared by the sharer entity so that it can be successfully executed on a remote target qubit on one sharer’s side, two of the three sharers are symmetric as the reconstruction of the conceivable state is concerned, and the protocol is experimentally feasible in terms of the current technique. The present protocol is concisely compared with four 4-party quantum operation protocols, which are different from the employed quantum channel or the qubit distribution. The present protocol is the first to utilize the entangled mixing state as the quantum channel.

Two-party quantum key agreement protocol with four-particle entangled states

Yefeng He, Wenping Ma

Based on four-particle entangled states and the delayed measurement technique, a two-party quantum key agreement protocol is proposed in this paper. In the protocol, two participants can deduce the measurement results of each other’s initial quantum states in terms of the measurement correlation property of four-particle entangled states. According to the corresponding initial quantum states deduced by themselves, two parties can extract the secret keys of each other by using the publicly announced value or by performing the delayed measurement, respectively. This guarantees the fair establishment of a shared key. Since each particle in quantum channel is transmitted only once, the protocol is congenitally free from the Trojan horse attacks. The security analysis shows that the protocol not only can resist against both participant and outsider attacks but also has no information leakage problem. Moreover, it has high qubit efficiency.

Three-Party Simultaneous Quantum Secure Communication Based on Closed Transmission Loops

Xunru Yin

A kind of novel three-party quantum secure direct communication protocol is proposed with the correlation of two-particle entangled state. In this scheme the qubit transmission forms a closed loop and every one of the three participants is both a receiver and a sender of particle sequences in the bidirectional quantum channels. Each party implements the corresponding unitary operations according to its secret bit value over the quantum channels and then extracts the other two parties’ unitary operations by performing Bell measurements on the encoded particles. Thus they can obtain the secret information simultaneously. Finally, the security analysis shows that the present three-party scheme is a secure protocol.

A novel quantum multiparty blind signature scheme based on χ state

Xingjia Wei, Shuangshuang Luo, Depeng Meng +2 more

Quantum digital signature, as an extension of classical digital signature, has become an important research content in quantum cryptography. Quantum blind signature combines the advantages of classical blind signature and quantum signature, which can ensure the unconditional security of the scheme based on the realization of the blinded signature of the message, and can be effectively applied in many real-world scenarios. This paper uses the four-particle [Formula: see text] state as a communication channel, combined with quantum teleportation technology to propose a new quantum multi-party blind signature protocol, which has the following characteristics: First, the Toeplitz hash function based on the linear shift register is introduced to blind the message, and the length of the blinded message can be adjusted according to the actual demand to increase the flexibility of the scheme; Second, through multi-party participation, the blind signature of multi-bit messages can be realized, and the signature efficiency can be improved. Compared with other quantum blind signatures, the signature efficiency has been greatly improved; Finally, using the four-particle [Formula: see text] state as a quantum channel can make the scheme use fewer resources to transmit data and increases the security of the scheme. Through security analysis, it can be seen that the scheme has blindness, nonrepudiation and unforgeability.

Quantum broadcast communication

Jian Wang, Quan Zhang, Chaojing Tang

Broadcast encryption allows the sender to securely distribute his/her secret to a dynamically changing group of users over a broadcast channel. In this paper, we just take account of a simple broadcast communication task in quantum scenario, in which the central party broadcasts his secret to multi-receiver via quantum channel. We present three quantum broadcast communication schemes. The first scheme utilizes entanglement swapping and Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state to fulfil a task that the central party broadcasts the secret to a group of receivers who share a group key with him. In the second scheme, based on dense coding, the central party broadcasts the secret to multi-receiver, each of which shares an authentication key with him. The third scheme is a quantum broadcast communication scheme with quantum encryption, in which the central party can broadcast the secret to any subset of the legal receivers.
