Single Qubit Quantum Secret Sharing
We present a simple and practical protocol for the solution of a secure
multiparty communication task, the secret sharing, and its experimental
realization. In this protocol, a secret message is split among several parties
in a way that its reconstruction require the collaboration of the participating
parties. In the proposed scheme the parties solve the problem by a sequential
communication of a single qubit. Moreover we show that our scheme is equivalent
to the use of a multiparty entangled GHZ state but easier to realize and better
scalable in practical applications.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, submitted December 29, 200
