Quantum secret-sharing is a fundamental technique in quantum communication and plays a crucial role in high-dimensional quantum secret transmission. This paper investigates the teleportation of arbitrary d-dimensional multipartite quantum secrets and proposes both deterministic and probabilistic teleportation protocols. The schemes employ generalized Bell-state measurements, generalized Pauli operators, and auxiliary particles to achieve efficient and secure quantum secret-sharing. The deterministic protocol employs maximally entangled channels to achieve perfect sharing with unit success probability. Moreover, the probabilistic protocol, assisted by auxiliary particles and generalized unitary operations, achieves perfect fidelity quantum secret sharing via non-maximally entangled channels. The protocols are further extended to arbitrary d-dimensional systems, and their robustness under several common quantum noise models is analyzed numerically. Compared with previous schemes, the proposed protocols support arbitrary multipartite entangled states, high-dimensional systems, non-maximally entangled channels, and noise analysis within a unified framework. These results enrich the theory of high-dimensional quantum communication and provide practical approaches for future quantum secret-sharing and secure quantum networks.

Very recently, Lee et al. proposed a secure quantum teleportation protocol to transfer shared quantum secret between multiple parties in a network [Phys. Rev. Lett. 124 060501 (2020)]. This quantum network is encoded with a maximally entangled GHZ state. In this paper, we consider a partially entangled GHZ state as the entanglement channel, where it can achieve, probabilistically, unity fidelity transfer of the state. Two kinds of strategies are given. One arises when an auxiliary particle is introduced and a general evolution at any receiver’s location is then adopted. The other one involves performing a single generalized Bell-state measurement at the location of any sender. This could allow the receivers to recover the transmitted state with a certain probability, in which only the local Pauli operators are performed, instead of introducing an auxiliary particle. In addition, the successful probability is provided, which is determined by the degree of entanglement of the partially multipartite entangled state. Moreover, the proposed protocol is robust against the bit and phase flip noise.
In practical quantum communication, quantum channels are inevitably affected by noise and decoherence, leading to their degradation into non-maximally entangled or even mixed states. As a result, conventional quantum teleportation schemes based on non-maximally entangled channels are inherently probabilistic and cannot simultaneously achieve unit fidelity and unit success probability. To address this issue, we exploit the structural degrees of freedom of high-dimensional partially entangled channels and construct an asymmetric joint measurement basis matched to the Schmidt-coefficient distribution of the channel, thereby proposing a controlled multi-output perfect quantum teleportation scheme. First, based on a three-dimensional partially entangled five-qutrit channel, a controlled two-output teleportation model for unknown single-qubit states is established. Perfect transmission with both unit fidelity and unit success probability is achieved through the controller’s projective measurement, the sender’s asymmetric joint measurement, and the receivers’ corresponding local recovery operations. On this basis, the scheme is generalized to arbitrary d-dimensional partially entangled channels and further extended from the two-output configuration to the multi-output scenario. Our analysis shows that, when the two largest Schmidt coefficients of the channel are equal, deterministic perfect teleportation with both unit fidelity and unit success probability can still be achieved using non-maximally entangled resources. The proposed scheme is more consistent with realistic quantum communication environments and provides a theoretical foundation for efficient and controllable quantum information distribution in complex quantum networks.
Abstract We present an innovative approach for quantum teleportation (QT) in a three-dimensional (3D) quantum system, enabling the transmission of 3D quantum information from multiple senders to multiple receivers using a 3D maximally entangled GHZ-type state as a network channel.By substituting the quantum channel with a partially entangled GHZ-type state in a three-dimensional (3D) setting, we obtain an extension of the above scheme in which, when an auxiliary qubit is introduced, the receivers implement a two-particle unitary transformation and some proper 3D Weyl operators to jointly reconstruct the transmitted state with a certain probability and unit fidelity. Subsequently, inspired by the proposed schemes, a protocol for transferring a shared d-dimensional (dD) quantum state to multiple distant parties by using a dD maximally entangled GHZ-type state as quantum channel is presented, and it is generalized to the case of a dD partially entangled GHZ-type network channel by introducing an auxiliary qubit and executing a two-particle unitary transformation. Our schemes can relay quantum information over a network without requiring fully trusted central or intermediate nodes, and none of the participants can fully accesses the information.
We give the detailed processes for sharing a four-qubit pure entangled state as quantum channel in amplitude damping (AD) network channel via entanglement compensation.We propose a secure (2,2)-type quantum teleportation (QT) scheme based on this AD network channel, which allows 2-dimensional quantum information shared by 2 senders to be teleported to 2 receivers in such a way that after performing two Bell-state measurements by two senders, the original target state can be probabilistically reconstructed through introducing an auxiliary qubit and executing appropriate local unitary operations provided that all the receivers collaborate. We then extend it to the transmission of a 2-dimensional quantum secret state shared by n senders to m receivers (i.e., (n,m)-type QT of shared 2-dimensional quantum secret) from the perspectives of projective measurement, positive-operator-valued measurement (POVM) and generalized Bell-state measurement. Furthermore, we generalize the above (n,m)-type QT to the case of transmitting a shared d-dimensional quantum secret state. Our approach enables efficient and distributed quantum information relay, eliminating the need for a fully trusted central or intermediary node. The results show that our schemes achieve unit fidelity, though the success probabilities are less than 1. More interestingly, the QT protocol for high-dimensional quantum states exhibits a higher success probability than low-dimensional states under equivalent AD conditions.
Abstract The purpose of this article is to explore how to transmit low-dimensional unknown single-particle states in a multi-output manner through a high-dimensional entangled state as a quantum channel under the control of a supervisor. First, we construct a set of complete orthogonal non-symmetric bases in ( d × f ) -dimensional Hilbert space and a ( 2 N + 1 ) -qudit maximally entangled state in d -dimensional Hilbert space, taking a set of ( 3 × 2 ) -dimensional non-symmetric bases and a 3-dimensional 5-qutrit entangled state as their special cases, respectively. We then propose a controlled teleportation scheme, where by using the 3-dimensional 5-qutrit maximally entangled state as a quantum channel and employing the ( 3 × 2 ) -dimensional non-symmetric basis measurement, two 2-dimensional single-qubit states are simultaneously teleported through quantum teleportation technology under the control of a supervisor. Subsequently, the above maximally entangled quantum channel is replaced by a 3-dimensional 5-qutrit non-maximally entangled state, and two unknown single-qubit states are teleported, under the control of a supervisor, in such a way that they can be probabilistically reconstructed by introducing auxiliary qubits and performing appropriate operations. The success probabilities of the above two schemes are given, and the analysis shows that the scheme based on a non-maximally entangled channel is a generalization of the previous scheme. In addition, the above schemes can be extended from the following two perspectives: (a) the quantum channels can be extended from 3-dimensional to arbitrary d -dimensional; (b) the transmitted quantum information can be extended from 2-dimensional to any f -dimensional through d -dimensional entangled quantum channels ( f < d ).
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to explore how to teleport a low-dimensional (two-dimensional) arbitrary unknown two-qubit cat-like state through a high-dimensional entangled state constituting the quantum channel. We first present a scheme employing a maximally entangled three-qutrit state as the channel. Within this scheme, the sender performs a single-qubit projective measurement and a non-symmetric basis measurement on their particles. Based on these measurement outcomes, the receiver applies specific unitary operations to reconstruct the original cat-like state. Subsequently, the maximally entangled channel is replaced with a non-maximally entangled three-qutrit state. For this probabilistic teleportation scheme, the target state is reconstructed by introducing an auxiliary qubit and performing appropriate operations; the corresponding success probability is derived. Analysis indicates that the non-maximally entangled scheme generalizes the previous maximally entangled approach. Furthermore, both schemes are shown to be directly extendable to quantum channels formed by arbitrary high-dimensional entangled states.
