It was recently shown that a hidden variable model can be constructed for universal quantum computation with magic states on qubits. Here we show that this result can be extended, and a hidden variable model can be defined for quantum…

We question the role of entanglement in masking quantum information contained in a set of mixed quantum states. We first show that a masker that can mask any two single-qubit pure states, can mask the entire set of mixed states comprising…

We present a general technique for hiding a classical bit in multipartite quantum states. The hidden bit, encoded in the choice of one of two possible density operators, cannot be recovered by local operations and classical communication…

The possibility of masking an accelerated two-qubit system by using a minimum number of qubits is discussed. It is shown that, the information may be masked in either entangled local states or product non-local separable states. We examine…

We present protocols for multiparty data hiding of quantum information that implement all possible threshold access structures. Closely related to secret sharing, data hiding has a more demanding security requirement: that the data remain…

We show that there exist bipartite quantum states which contain large hidden classical correlation that can be unlocked by a disproportionately small amount of classical communication. In particular, there are $(2n+1)$-qubit states for…

Quantum masking is a special type of secret sharing in which some information gets reversibly distributed into a multipartite system, leaving the original information inaccessible to each subsystem. This paper proposes a dynamical extension…

Linearity and unitarity are two fundamental tenets of quantum theory. Any consequence that follows from these must be respected in the quantum world. The no-cloning theorem and the no-deleting theorem are the consequences of the linearity…

By studying quantum information masking in non-Hermitian quantum systems, we show that mutually orthogonal quantum states can be deterministically masked, while an arbitrary set of quantum states cannot be masked in non-Hermitian quantum…

We prove a new impossibility for quantum information (the no-splitting theorem): an unknown quantum bit (qubit) cannot be split into two complementary qubits. This impossibility, together with the no-cloning theorem, demonstrates that an…
