Secure multi-party quantum computation

Secure multi-party quantum computation
Secure multi-party computing, also called secure function evaluation, has been extensively studied in classical cryptography. We consider the extension of this task to computation with quantum inputs and circuits. Our protocols are information-theoretically secure, i.e. no assumptions are made on the computational power of the adversary. For the weaker task of verifiable quantum secret sharing, we give a protocol which tolerates any t < n/4 cheating parties (out of n). This is shown to be optimal. We use this new tool to show how to perform any multi-party quantum computation as long as the number of dishonest players is less than n/6. Keywords Quantum cryptography, multi-party protocols, secure function evaluation, distributed computing
