Quantum dice rolling: A multi-outcome generalization of quantum coin flipping
Abstract
We generalize the problem of coin flipping to more than two outcomes and parties. We term this problem dice rolling, and study both its weak and strong variants. We prove by construction that in quantum settings (i) weak N-sided dice rolling admits an arbitrarily small bias for any value of N, and (ii) two-party strong N-sided dice rolling saturates the corresponding generalization of Kitaev's bound for any value of N. In addition, we make use of this last result to introduce a family of optimal 2m-party strong nm-sided dice rolling protocols for any value of m and n.
