Polygamy of multiparty q -expected quantum entanglement

Monogamy and Polygamy of Entanglement in Multipartite Quantum Systems

One distinct property of quantum entanglement from other classical correlations is that multipartite entanglements cannot be freely shared among the parties: If two parties in a multi-party system share a maximally entangled state, then they cannot share any entanglement with the rest. This is known as monogamy of entanglement (MoE) [1], which is a key ingredient for secure quantum cryptography...

Multiparty secret sharing of quantum information based on entanglement swapping

A protocol of multiparty secret sharing of quantum information based on entanglement swapping is analyzed. In this protocol, Bell states are needed in order to realize the quantum information secret sharing and it is convenient to realize the quantum secret sharing among the members of any subset of users.  2004 Elsevier B.V.

Quantum multiparty key distribution protocol without use of entanglement

We propose a quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol that enables three parties agree at once on a shared common random bit string in presence of an eavesdropper without use of entanglement. We prove its unconditional security and analyze the key rate.

Multiparty Quantum Secret Sharing Based on Entanglement Swapping

A multiparty quantum secret sharing (QSS) protocol is proposed by using swapping quantum entanglement of Bell states. The secret messages are imposed on Bell states by local unitary operations. The secret messages are split into several parts and each part is distributed to a party so that no action of a subset of all the parties but their entire cooperation is able to read out the secret messa...
