Secure multi-party quantum computation with few qubits

Abstract

We consider the task of secure multi-party distributed quantum computation on a quantum network. We propose a protocol based on quantum error correction which reduces the number of necessary qubits. That is, each of the nn nodes in our protocol requires an operational workspace of n2+Θ(s)nn^2+\Theta(s) n qubits, as opposed to previously shown Ω((n3+n2s2)logn)\Omega\big((n^3+n^2s^2)\log n\big) qubits, where ss is a security parameter. To achieve universal computation, we develop a distributed procedure for verifying magic states based on magic state distillation and statistical testing of randomly selected states. This allows us to apply distributed TT gate and which may be of independent interest. We showcase our protocol on a small example for a 7-node network.
