It has been recently shown by Mayers that no bit commitment scheme is secure if the participants have unlimited computational power and technology. However it was noticed that a secure protocol could be obtained by forcing the cheater to…

Secret sharing schemes for classical secrets can be classified into classical secret sharing schemes and quantum secret sharing schemes. Classical secret sharing has been known to be able to distribute some shares before a given secret. On…
Quantum data hiding stores classical information in bipartite quantum states that are, in principle, perfectly distinguishable, yet remain almost indistinguishable without access to a quantum communication channel. Here, we investigate…
We propose a protocol for multipartite secret sharing of quantum information through an \textit{amplitude damping} quantum channel. This network is, for example, of two organizations communicating with their own employees connected via…
Quantum key distribution (QKD) allows Alice and Bob to agree on a shared secret key, while communicating over a public (untrusted) quantum channel. Compared to classical key exchange, it has two main advantages: (i) The key is…
Quantum secret-sharing and quantum error-correction schemes rely on multipartite decoding protocols, yet the non-local operations involved are challenging and sometimes infeasible. Here we construct a quantum secret-sharing protocol with a…
Current technologies in quantum-based communications bring a new integration of quantum data with classical data for hybrid processing. However, the frameworks of these technologies are restricted to a single classical or quantum task,…
The construction of a perfectly secure private quantum channel in dimension d is known to require 2 log d shared random key bits between the sender and receiver. We show that if only near-perfect security is required, the size of the key…
