Abstract:

Drawing idea from the quantum entanglement swapping, a quantum (n-1,n)threshold scheme is proposed. By local unitary operation and entanglement swapping, the sender can transmit the piece of secret to the participant. To ensure the qubits be transmitted between two parties in a secure manner,the sender switches randomly the message mode to control mode asymmetrically. A security analyses on this scheme is then made. It shows that this scheme is secure. Compared with the quantum secret sharing scheme with Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state, the scheme achieves a high efficiency. Furthermore, since the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) pair was used, the experimental realization of the protocol becomes feasible

Key words: Bell state, entanglement swapping, quantum secret sharing
