Abstract:
For the first time, a threshold quantum secure direct communication (TQSDC) scheme is presented. Similar to the classical Shamir's secret sharing scheme, the sender makes n shares, S-1, ... , S-n of secret key K and each receiver keeps a share secretly. If the sender wants to send a secret message M to the receivers, he encodes the information of K and M on a single photon sequence and sends it to one of the receivers. According to the secret shares, the t receivers sequentially perform the corresponding unitary operations on the single photon sequence and obtain the secret message M. The shared shares may be reusable if it can be judged that there is no eavesdropper in line. We discuss that our protocol is feasible with current technology.
