$(t, n)$ Threshold $d$-level quantum secret sharing based on quantum Fourier transformation

Abstract

Quantum secret sharing (QSS) is an important branch of secure multiparty quantum computation. Several schemes for $(n, n)$ threshold QSS based on quantum Fourier transformation (QFT) have been proposed. Inspired by the flexibility of $(t, n)$ threshold schemes, Song {\it et al.} (Scientific Reports, 2017) have proposed a $(t, n)$ threshold QSS utilizing $QFT$. Later, Kao and Hwang (arXiv:1803.00216) have identified a loophole in the scheme but have not suggested any remedy. In this present study, we have proposed a $(t, n)$ threshold QSS scheme to share a $d$ dimensional classical secret. This scheme can be implemented using local operations (such as $QFT$, generalized Pauli operators and local measurement) and classical communication. Security of the proposed scheme is described against outsider and participants' eavesdropping.
