Deterministic and exact entanglement teleportation viathe W state

Utilizing a three-particle W state, we come up with a protocol for the teleportation of an unknown two-particle entangled state. It is shown that the teleportation can be deterministically and exactly realized. Moreover, two-particle entanglement teleportation is generalized to a system consisting of many particles via a three-particle W state and a multi-particle W state, respectively. All unitary transformations performed by the receiver are given in a concise formula.     

Quantum broadcast communication with authentication

Two simple quantum broadcast communication schemes are proposed.A central party can broadcast his secret message to all the legitimate receivers simultaneously.Compared with the three schemes proposed recently (Wang et al.2007 Chin.Phys.16 1868),the proposed schemes have the advantages of consuming fewer quantum and classical resources,lessening the difficulty and intensity of necessary operations,and having higher efficiency.

Scalable Arbitrated Quantum Signature of Classical Messages with Multi-Signers

Unconditionally secure signature is an important part of quantum cryptography. Usually, a signature scheme only provides an environment for a single signer. Nevertheless, in real applications, many signers may collaboratively send a message to the verifier and convince the verifier that the message is actually transmitted by them. In this paper, we give a scalable arbitrated signature protocol of classical proved to be secure even with a compromised arbitrator. messages with multi-signers. Its security is analyzed and proved to be secure even with a compromised arbitrator.     

单个N维量子系统的量子秘密共享

提出了一种单个N维量子系统的量子秘密共享方案.在该方案中，利用对Bennett和Brassard协议(BB84协议)中使用的两基四态扩展到多基多态，分发者对要共享的秘密采用多基多态编码，将被编码的单个N维量子系统发送给他的两个代理人之一，该代理人利用一个N维克隆机对接收到的粒子做幺正操作，然后把粒子发送给另一代理人.在得知最后一个代理人接收到该粒子之后，分发者告知两个代理人他所用的制备基，然后两个代理人分别对自己的系统进行测量并在合作之后获知分发者所发送的粒子的量子态.该方案的安全性基于量子不可克隆定理. 关键词： 量子秘密共享 多基多态编码 N维克隆机 量子不可克隆定理     

Improving the security of secure deterministic communication scheme based on quantum remote state preparation

The security of the quantum secure deterministic communication scheme [{\it Chin. Phys.} {\bf16} (2007) 2549] is reexamined. A security loophole is pointed out. Taking advantage of this loophole, an eavesdropper can steal all the secret messages without being detected by an intercept-and-resend attack strategy. Furthermore, a possible improvement on this protocol is presented. It makes the modified protocol secure against this kind of attack.     

An efficient quantum key distribution protocol with orthogonal product states

An efficient quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol with orthogonal product states in the 3 \otimes 3 Hilbert space is presented. The sender, Alice, disorders the orthogonal product state sequence and sends it to Bob. After Alice has published the matching information of the particle sequence, Bob recovers the correct correspondences and makes an orthogonal measurement on the orthogonal product states to obtain the information sent by Alice. Finally, security analysis is also made.     

Secure authentication of classical messages with single photons

This paper proposes a scheme for secure authentication of classical messages with single photons and a hashed function. The security analysis of this scheme is also given, which shows that anyone cannot forge valid message authentication codes (MACs). In addition, the lengths of the authentication key and the MACs are invariable and shorter, in comparison with those presented authentication schemes. Moreover, quantum data storage and entanglement are not required in this scheme. Therefore, this scheme is more efficient and economical.     

Participant attack on quantum secret sharing based on entanglement swapping

The security of quantum secret sharing based on entanglement swapping is revisited and a participant attack is presented. In this attack two dishonest agents together can illegally recover the secret quantum state without the help of any other controller, and it will not be detected by any other users. Furthermore, by modifying the distribution process of particles and adding a detection step after each distribution process, we propose an improved protocol which can resist this kind of attack.
