基于两光子偏振-空间模超纠缠态的高容量的量子秘密共享协议
Abstract
<p indent="0mm">This paper proposes a feasible high-capacity tripartite quantum secret sharing protocol based on the two-photon polarization-spatial-mode hyperentangled state. Alice, the secret owner, prepares polarization-spatial-mode hyperentangled photon pairs and distributes them to two agents, Bob and Charlie. Using nonlocal complete Bell state analysis technology assisted by spatial mode entanglement, the two agents can collaborate to distinguish Alice’s Bell state in polarization degree of freedom. Only linear optical elements are needed to construct the agents’ measuring devices, which makes the protocol more feasible in experimental implementation. Compared with the existing quantum secret sharing protocols based on two-photon entanglement, this scheme does not need two-way quantum communication and has high capacity because it can transmit two bits of information with a polarization-spatial-mode hyperentangled photon pair. The proposed quantum secret sharing protocol is secure and reliable due to error correction and privacy amplification technology.</p>
