Multiparty Quantum Secret Sharing of Secure Direct Communication Using Teleportation

We present an (n,n) threshold quantum secret sharing scheme of secure direct communication using Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state and teleportation.After ensuring the security of the quantum channel,the sender encodes the secret message directly on a sequence of particle states and transmits it to the receivers by teleportation.The receivers can recover the secret message by combining their measurement results with the sender's result.If a perfect quantum channel is used,our scheme is completely secure because the transmitting particle sequence does not carry the secret message.We also show our scheme is secure for noise quantum channel.     

Multiparty Quantum Secret Sharing of Quantum States with Quantum Registers

A quantum secret sharing scheme is proposed by making use of quantum registers. In the proposed scheme, secret message state is encoded into multipartite entangled states. Several identical multi-particle entanglement states are generated and each particle of the entanglement state is filled in different quantum registers which act as shares of the secret message. Two modes, i.e. the detecting mode and the message mode, are employed so that the eavesdropping can be detected easily and the secret message may be recovered. The security analysis shows that the proposed scheme is secure against eavesdropping of eavesdropper and cheating of participants.     

控制的量子隐形传态和控制的量子安全直接通信

我们提出了一个控制的量子隐形传态方案。在这方案中，发送方Alice 在监督者Charlie的控制下以他们分享的三粒子纠缠态作为量子通道将二能级粒子未知态的量子信息忠实的传给了遥远的接受方Bob。我们还提出了借助此传态的控制的量子安全直接通信方案。在保证量子通道安全的情况下， Alice直接将秘密信息编码在粒子态序列上，并在Charlie控制下用此传态方法传给Bob。Bob可通过测量他的量子位读出编码信息。由于没有带秘密信息的量子位在Alice 和Bob之间传送，只要量子通道安全， 这种通信不会泄露给窃听者任何信息， 是绝对安全的。这个方案的的特征是双方通信需得到第三方的许可。     

Quantum dual signature scheme based on coherent states with entanglement swapping

A novel quantum dual signature scheme, which combines two signed messages expected to be sent to two diverse receivers Bob and Charlie, is designed by applying entanglement swapping with coherent states. The signatory Alice signs two different messages with unitary operations(corresponding to the secret keys) and applies entanglement swapping to generate a quantum dual signature. The dual signature is firstly sent to the verifier Bob who extracts and verifies the signature of one message and transmits the rest of the dual signature to the verifier Charlie who verifies the signature of the other message. The transmission of the dual signature is realized with quantum teleportation of coherent states. The analysis shows that the security of secret keys and the security criteria of the signature protocol can be greatly guaranteed.An extensional multi-party quantum dual signature scheme which considers the case with more than three participants is also proposed in this paper and this scheme can remain secure. The proposed schemes are completely suited for the quantum communication network including multiple participants and can be applied to the e-commerce system which requires a secure payment among the customer, business and bank.     

Quantum Secure Communication Using a Class of Three-Particle W State

A theoretical scheme of quantum secure communication using a class of three-particle W states is proposed. In the scheme, two communicators may communicate after they test the security of the quantum channel. The receiver can obtain the secret message determinately if the quantum channel is safe. The present scheme can be realized without using teleportation.     

Quantum Secure Direct Communication Using W State

A theoretical scheme of quantum secure direct communication using teleportation is proposed. In the scheme, the sender needs to prepare a class of three-particle W states to use as quantum channel. The two communicators may communicate after they test the security of the quantum channel. The security of the protocol is ensured by quantum entanglement and quantum no-cloning theorem. The receiver can obtain the secret message determinately if the quantum channel is secure.     

A scheme for secure direct communication using EPR pairs and teleportation

A novel scheme for secure direct communication between Alice and Bob is proposed, where there is no need for establishing a shared secret key. The communication is based on Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) pairs and teleportation between Alice and Bob. After insuring the security of the quantum channel (EPR pairs), Bob encodes the secret message directly on a sequence of particle states and transmits them to Alice by teleportation. In this scheme teleportation transmits Bobs message without revealing any information to a potential eavesdropper. Alice can read out the encoded messages directly by the measurement on her qubits. Because there is not a transmission of the qubit which carries the secret message between Alice and Bob, it is completely secure for direct secret communication if perfect quantum channel is used.Received: 17 March 2004, Published online: 30 September 2004PACS: 03.67.Dd Quantum cryptography - 03.67.Hk Quantum communicationF.L.

通过纠缠交换实现N粒子任意态的概率传态

量子隐形传态的杰出安全特性使其在未来的通讯领域充满潜力.量子力学的不确定性原理和不可克隆定理禁止对量子态进行直接复制,因此,量子隐形传态将量子态划分为经典和量子两部分,信息分别经由经典和量子通道从发送者Alice传递给远方的接收者Bob,根据这两种信息,Bob实行相应操作就可以以一定的几率重建初始传送态.利用一般意义的隐形传态方案,提出一种简便的新方法实现了一个N粒子任意态的概率传态.方法采用N个非最大纠缠的三粒子GHZ态作为量子通道,避免了引入额外的辅助粒子.为了实现传态,Alice将所有粒子分成N份,对第i份的粒子对(i,x_i)实行Bell测量并将结果通过经典通道通知Bob,Bob对粒子(y_i,z_i)进行相应的操作就可以完成第i个粒子信息的传送.当完成N次相似的重复操作后,Bob就可以准确地重建初始传送态.文中以Bell态测量为基本手段,重复的操作同时也降低了实验难度,作为一个特例,文中给出了一个两粒子任意态的传态方案.     

Unconditional secure two-way quantum dense key distribution

In this paper, we present a two-way quantum dense key distribution protocol. With double check modes, our scheme is secure regardless of the presence of noises. And with a quantum teleportation process, secret message can be encoded deterministically even if the quantum channel is highly lossy. Therefore, our scheme can be used in a realistic quantum channel regardless of the presence of noises and channel losses.     

Hierarchical quantum-information splitting

We present a scheme for asymmetric quantum-information splitting, where a sender distributes asymmetrically a quantum secret (quantum state) to distant partners in a network. The asymmetric distribution leads to that the partners have different powers to recover the sender’s secret. In other words, their authorities for getting the secret are hierarchized. In the scheme, the partners do not need to make any nonlocal operation. The scheme can also be modified to implement threshold-controlled teleportation.     

Multiparty Quantum Secret Sharing of Classical Message using Cavity Quantum Electrodynamic System

An experimental feasible scheme of multiparty secret sharing of classical messages is proposed, based on a cavity quantum electrodynamic system. The secret messages are imposed on atomic Bell states initially in the sender＇s possession by local unitary operations. By swapping quantum entanglement of atomic Bell states, the secret messages are split into several parts and each part is distributed to a separate party. In this case, any subset of the entire party group can not read out the secret message but the entirety via mutual cooperations. In this scheme, to discriminate atomic Bell states, additional classical fields are employed besides the same highlydetuned single-mode cavities used to prepare atomic Bell states. This scheme is insensitive to the cavity decay and the thermal field, and usual joint Bell-state measurements are unnecessary.     

Multiparty controlled quantum secure direct communication using Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state

Based on the idea of dense coding of three-photon entangled state and qubit transmission in blocks, we present a multiparty controlled quantum secret direct communication scheme by using Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state. In the present scheme, the sender transmits three bits of secret message to the receiver directly and the secret message can only be recovered by the receiver under the permission of all the controllers. All three-photon entangled states are used to transmit the secret message except those chosen for eavesdropping check and the present scheme has a high source capacity because Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state forms a large Hilbert space.

Quantum Teleportation of an Arbitrary N-qubit State via GHZ-like States

Recently Zhu (Int. J. Theor. Phys. 53, 4095, 2014) had shown that using GHZ-like states as quantum channel, it is possible to teleport an arbitrary unknown two-qubit state. We investigate this channel for the teleportation of an arbitrary N-qubit state. The strict proof through mathematical induction is presented and the rule for the receiver to reconstruct the desired state is explicitly derived in the most general case. We also discuss that if a system of quantum secret sharing of classical message is established, our protocol can be transformed to a N-qubit perfect controlled teleportation scheme from the controller’s point of view.     

Teleportation of Quantum States through Mixed Entangled Pairs

We describe a protocol for quantum state teleportation via mixed entangled pairs. With the help of an ancilla, near-perfect teleportation might be achieved. For pure entangled pairs, perfect teleportation might be achieved with a certain probability without using an ancilla. The protocol is generalized to teleportation of multiparticle states and quantum secret sharing.     

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

We present a robust （n, n）-threshold scheme for multiparty quantum secret sharing of key over two collectivenoise 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.     

Controlled Quantum Secure Direct Communication by?Using Four Particle Cluster States

We present a controlled quantum secure direct communication protocol by using cluster states via swapping quantum entanglement and local unitary operation. In the present scheme, the sender transmit the secret message to the receiver directly and the secret message can only be recovered by the receiver under the permission of the controller.     

Simultaneous intraportation of many quantum states within the quantum computing network

A scheme is proposed for simultaneous intraportation of many unknown quantum states within a quantum computing network. It is shown that our scheme, much different from the teleportation in the strict sense, can be very similar to the original teleportation proposal (Phys. Rev. Lett. 70 (1993) 1895) and the efficiency of the scheme for quantum state transmission is very high. The possible applications of our scheme are also discussed.     

Steganalysis and improvement of a quantum steganography protocol via a GHZ4 state

Quantum steganography that utilizes the quantum mechanical effect to achieve the purpose of information hiding is a popular topic of quantum information. Recently, E1 Allati et al. proposed a new quantum steganography using the GHZ4 state. Since all of the 8 groups of unitary transformations used in the secret message encoding rule change the GHZ4 state into 6 instead of 8 different quantum states when the global phase is not considered, we point out that a 2-bit instead of a 3-bit secret message can be encoded by one group of the given unitary transformations. To encode a 3-bit secret message by performing a group of unitary transformations on the GHZ4 state, we give another 8 groups of unitary transformations that can change the GHZ4 state into 8 different quantum states. Due to the symmetry of the GHZ4 state, all the possible 16 groups of unitary transformations change the GHZ4 state into 8 different quantum states, so the improved protocol achieves a high efficiency.     

Multi-output quantum teleportation of different quantum information with an IBM quantum experience

Multicast-based quantum teleportation(QT) is extensively used in quantum information transmission where a sender sends different information to multiple receivers at the large distance through the quantum entangled channel. In this paper, we introduce the multi-output QT scheme, which deals with the situation that the synchronous transfer of the arbitrary m-and(m+1)-qubit GHZ-class states from one sender to two receivers. Notably, the requirement about synchronous diverse information transmission is satisfied in our scheme with high efficiency. Moreover, we demonstrate the implementation of the special case of above quantum multi-output teleportation scheme on a sixteenqubit quantum computer and a 32-qubit simulator provided by IBM quantum platform, then discuss it in four types of noisy environments, and calculate the fidelities of the output states.
