Passive continuous-variable quantum secret sharing using a thermal source
PHYSICAL REVIEW A(2020)
摘要
We propose a continuous-variable quantum secret sharing (CV-QSS) protocol in which the quantum states are prepared passively using a thermal source. In our protocol, one player splits the output of a thermal source into two spatial modes with the help of a beam splitter, then he (or she) measures one of the correlated thermal states and sends the others to the secure station of the adjacent player in sequence after using appropriate optical attenuation, which waives the necessity of employment of high extinction ratio modulators with good stability. Therefore, the proposed protocol provides convenient implementation in QSS framework. Moreover, our scheme is immune to Trojan horse attacks. We derive the security bounds for our protocol against both eavesdroppers and dishonest players. Furthermore, we can achieve tighter bound of QSS distance by considering the finite-size effect, which is more practical than that obtained in the asymptotic limit.
