Hierarchical quantum information splitting
We present a scheme for asymmetric quantum information splitting, where a sender distributes asymmetrically a qubit to distant agents in a network. The asymmetric distribution leads to that the agents have different powers to reconstruct the sender's qubit. In other words, the authorities of the agents for getting the quantum secret are hierarchized. The scheme does not need the agents to get together and make nonlocal operations. Our scheme can also be modified to implement controlled teleportation against uncooperation of part of supervisors.
