Threshold Multiparty Controlled Teleportation of Arbitrary m-Qubit Quantum Information

Abstract

We present a (t, n) threshold multiparty controlled quantum teleportation protocol of an arbitrary m-qubit quantum state between two remote parties. The unknown m-qubit quantum state can be recovered by the receiver under control of a subset of the n controllers if the number of the subset is larger than or equal to a threshold, say, t, but not for any t – 1 or fewer controllers. Our scheme seems to be more practical and more flexible than other existing protocols. The quantum resource required is just m Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) pairs plus some single photons. The techniques required are only Bell state measurement, single-qubit unitary operation and von Neumann measurement. So our scheme is also feasible with present-day technique.
