Novel traveling quantum anonymous voting scheme via GHZ states

Based on traveling ballot mode,we propose a secure quantum anonymous voting via Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger(GHZ)states.In this scheme,each legal voter performs unitary operation on corresponding position of particle sequence to encode his/her voting content.The voters have multiple ballot items to choose rather than just binary options“yes”or“no”.After counting votes phase,any participant who is interested in voting results can obtain the voting results.To improve the efficiency of the traveling quantum anonymous voting scheme,an optimization method based on grouping strategy is also presented.Compared with the most existing traveling quantum voting schemes,the proposed scheme is more practical because of its privacy,verifiability and non-repeatability.Furthermore,the security analysis shows that the proposed traveling quantum anonymous voting scheme can prevent various attacks and ensure high security.

Atomic GHZ States Prepared in Two Directly Coupled Cavities with Virtual Excitations in One Step

A scheme for one-step preparation of atomic GHZ states in two directly coupled cavities via virtual excitations is proposed.In the whole procedure,the information is carried only in two ground states of A-type atoms, while the excited states of atoms and cavity modes are virtually excited,leading the system to be insensitive to atomic spontaneous emission and photon loss.

Quantum Risk Assessment Model Based on Two Three-Qubit GHZ States

With the acceleration of the construction of quantum communication networks,scholars have proposed different quantum communication protocols for different application scenarios.However,few scholars pay attention to the risk assessment process before communication.In this paper,we propose a novel quantum risk assessment model based on quantum teleportation technology with two three-qubit GHZ states.Only by using Bell states measurements(BSMs)and two-qubit projective measurements(PJMs),the communicators can recovery any arbitrary two-qubit state.This protocol can transmit two-dimension risk assessment factors with better security performance.On the one hand,more sufficient evaluation factors allow the two communicating parties to more objectively evaluate the risk level of communication with the other party,and on the other hand,it also improves the qubit efficiency of the protocol.Moreover,we introduce the third party in this scheme can be semi-trusted,which must be full-trusted in our previous work.This change can reduce the dependence of the communication parties on the third-party organization and improve the privacy of communication.The security analysis shows that this scheme can resist internal and external attacks,and the quantum circuit diagrams also prove that our protocol is physically easier to implement.

Generation of four-particle GHZ states in bimodal cavity QED

We propose a scheme for preparing four-particle Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states using two identical bimodal cavities, each supports two modes with different frequencies. This scheme is an alternative to another published work [Christopher C Gerry 1996 Phys. Rev. A 53 4591]. Comparisons between them are discussed. The fidelity and the probability of success influenced by cavity decay for the generated states are also considered.

Controlled Secure Quantum Dialogue Using a Pure Entangled GHZ States

We present a controlled secure quantum dialogue protocol using a non-maximally （pure） entangled Greenberger-Horne-Zeibinger （GHZ） states at first, and then discuss the requirements for a real quantum dialogue. We show that the authorized two users can exchange their secret messages after purifying the non-maximally entangled GHZ states quantum channel unconditionally securely and simultaneously under the control of a third party.

A nearly deterministic scheme for generation of multiphoton GHZ states with weak cross-Kerr nonlinearity

We propose a scheme to generate polarization-entangled multiphoton Greenberger-Horne^Zeilinger （GHZ） states based on weak cross-Kerr nonlinearity and subsequent homodyne measurement. It can also be generalized to produce maximally N-qubit entangled states. The success probabilities of our schemes are almost equal to 1.

Decay of N-qubit GHZ states in Pauli channels

An N-qubit Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger(GHZ) state has many applications in various quantum information tasks and can be realized in different experimental schemes. A GHZ diagonal state evolves to another GHZ diagonal state in independent parallel Pauli channels. We give the explicit expression of the resultant GHZ diagonal state in terms of the initial state and channel parameters. If the initial state is a pure N qubit GHZ state or a three-qubit GHZ diagonal state admits a condition, the full separability criterion of the Pauli noisy state is equivalent to positive partial transpose(PPT)criterion. Thus the fully separable condition follows.

Semi-quantum private comparison protocol of size relation with d-dimensional GHZ states

A novel efficient semi-quantum private comparison protocol based on the d-dimensional GHZ states is proposed.With the assistance of semi-honest third party,two classical participants can compare the size relation of their secrets without any information leakage.To reduce the consumption of quantum devices,the qubit efficiency of our protocol is improved by introducing the semi-quantum conception via the existing semi-quantum private comparisons.Furthermore,it is unnecessary to prepare the secure classical authentication channel among participants in advance.It is shown that our protocol is not only correct and efficient,but also free from external and internal attacks.

Knotted pictures of the GHZ states on the surface of a trivial torus

By means of the torus knot theory method, this paper presents the complete process of obtaining the knotted pictures of eight GHZ states on the surface of a trivial torus from the knotted pictures of eight basic three-qubit states on the surface of a trivial torus. Thus, we obtain eight knotted pictures 121 linkage on the ordinary plane.

Teleportation of Multi-ionic GHZ States and Arbitrary Bipartite Ionic State via Linear Optics

We present a scheme for teleportation of multi-ionic GHZ states and arbitrary bipartite ionic state only by single-qubit measurements via linear optical elements. In our scheme, we avoid the difficulty of joint measurement and synchronizing the arrival time of the two scattered photons, which are faced by previous schemes. So our scheme can be realized easily within current experimental technology.

Fast Generation of GHZ States with Bose–Einstein Condensate in a Cavity

It is shown that strong coupling of Bose-Einstein condensates to an optical cavity can be realized ex- perimentally. With an additional driven microwave field, we show that a highly nonlinear coupling among atoms in a Bose-Einstein condensate can be induced with the assistance of the cavity mode. With such interaction we can investigate the generation of many body entangled states. In particularly, we show that multipartite entangled CHZ states can be obtained in such architecture with current available techniques.

A blind quantum signature protocol using the GHZ states

Recently,some blind quantum signature(BQS) protocols have been proposed.But the previous schemes have security and efficiency problems.Based on the entangled Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger(GHZ) states,a new weak BQS protocol is proposed.Compared with some existing schemes,our protocol has 100% efficiency.Besides,the protocol is simple and easy to implement.The security of the protocol is guaranteed by the correlation of the GHZ particles held by each participant.In our protocol,the signatory is kept blind from the content of the message.According to the security analysis,the signatory cannot disavowal his/her signature while the signature cannot be forged by others.

Measure-Resend Semi-Quantum Private Comparison Scheme Using GHZ Class States

Quantum private comparison is an important topic in quantum cryptography.Recently,the idea of semi-quantumness has been often used in designing private comparison protocol,which allows some of the participants to remain classical.In this paper,we propose a semi quantum private comparison scheme based on Greenberge-Horne-Zeilinger(GHZ)class states,which allows two classical participants to compare the equality of their private secret with the help of a quantum third party(server).In the proposed protocol,server is semi-honest who will follow the protocol honestly,but he may try to learn additional information from the protocol execution.The classical participants’activities are restricted to either measuring a quantum state or reflecting it in the classical basis{0,1}.In addition,security and efficiency of the proposed schemes have been discussed.

Scheme for Concentration of Unknown Photonic GHZ Entangled States via Linear Optical Elements

We propose two schemes to concentrate unknown nonmaximally tripartite GHZ entangled states via linear optical elements. The finial maximally entangled states obtained from our schemes are shared by two or three parties. Our schemes only need polarizing beam splitters and single-photon detectors. In addition, the schemes can be demonstrated within current experimental technology.

Fast scheme for generating quantum-interference states and GHZ state of N trapped ions

We propose a fast scheme to generate the quantum-interference states of N trapped ions. In the scheme the ions are driven by a standing-wave laser beam whose carrier frequency is tuned such that the ion transition can take place. We also propose a simple and fast scheme to produce the GHZ state of N hot trapped ions and this scheme is insensitive to the heating of vibrational motion, which is important from the viewpoint of decoherence.

Teleportation of Unknown Atomic Entangled States Using GHZ Class States

We propose two physical schemes, which can teleport unknown atomic entangled states from user A （Alice） to user B （Bob） via GHZ class states as quantum channel The two schemes are both based on cavity QED techniques. In the two schemes, teleportation and distillation procedures can be realized simultaneously. The second teleportation scheme is more advantageous than the first one.

Scheme for concentration of the unknown GHZ entangled states

We propose two schemes for concentrating unknown nonmaximally tripartite GHZ entangled states via cavity quantum electrodynamics （QED） techniques. The finial pure states obtained from the two schemes are shared by two or three parties. Our schemes only require large-detuned interaction between two driven atoms and the quantized cavity mode, which is insensitive to both the cavity decay and thermal field, thus the schemes are well within current experimental technology.

Genuine Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering of generalized three-qubit states via unsharp measurements

We aim to explore all possible scenarios of(1→2)(where one wing is untrusted and the others two wings are trusted)and(2→1)(where two wings are untrusted,and one wing is trusted)genuine tripartite Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen(EPR)steering.The generalized Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger(GHZ)state is shared between three spatially separated parties,Alice,Bob and Charlie.In both(1→2)and(2→1),we discuss the untrusted party and trusted party performing a sequence of unsharp measurements,respectively.For each scenario,we deduce an upper bound on the number of sequential observers who can demonstrate genuine EPR steering through the quantum violation of tripartite steering inequality.The results show that the maximum number of observers for the generalized GHZ states can be the same with that of the maximally GHZ state in a certain range of state parameters.Moreover,both the sharpness parameters range and the state parameters range in the scenario of(1→2)steering are larger than those in the scenario of(2→1)steering.

Teleportation of atomic entangled states with a thermal cavity

We propose a most simple and experimentally feasible scheme for teleporting unknown atomic entangled states in driven cavity quantum electrodynamics （QED）. In our scheme, the joint Bell-state measurement （BSM） is not required, and the successful probability can reach 1.0. Furthermore, the scheme is insensitive to the cavity decay and the thermal field.

Improved Quantum ＂ Ping-Pong＂ Protocol Based on Extended Three-Particle GHZ State

In order to transmit secure messages, a quantum secure direct communication protocol based on extended three-particle GHZ state was presented, in which the extended three-particle GHZ state was used to detect eavesdroppers. In the security analysis, the method of the entropy theory is introduced, and three detection strategies are compared quantitatively by using the constraint between the information eavesdroppers can obtain and the interference introduced. If the eavesdroppers intend to obtain all inforrmtion, the detection rate of the original ＂Ping-pong＂ protocol is 50% ; the second protocol used two particles of EPR pair as detection particles is also 50%; while the presented protocol is 58%. At last, the security of the proposed protocol is discussed. The analysis results indicate that the protocol in this paper is more secure than the other two.
