Construction of a Class of Communication-Efficient Quantum Secret Sharing Schemes
Quantum secret sharing is a fundamental technique in quantum cryptography. However, in practical quantum networks, it still faces several bottlenecks, such as high quantum communication cost and low transmission efficiency. To reduce the communication cost, ramp quantum secret sharing schemes have been proposed in existing studies. Nevertheless, intermediate sets in such schemes may leak partial information about the secret. To address this problem, this paper presents a method for detecting intermediate sets. Based on this method, we further propose a communication-efficient perfect quantum secret sharing scheme with eavesdropping detection capability.We analyze the communication cost under different numbers of participating parties and determine the range of participants that minimizes the reconstruction communication cost. The results verify the communication efficiency and security of the proposed scheme.
