QUANTUM INFORMATION SPLITTING OF TWO-QUBIT STATE WITH MINIMAL CLASSICAL COMMUNICATION AND MEASUREMENT COMPLEXITY

We present a quantum information splitting scheme of a two-qubit state by using two Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) states as quantum channels. In this scheme, since the sender Alice knows the quantum information in priori, she only needs to perform a two-qubit measurement and publish two classical bits for her two agents Bob and Charlie to reconstruct the quantum information via their mutual assistance. We calculate the success probability and classical communication cost within the scheme. In the general case, Alice can successfully split the state with probability 25% (probabilistic) and the classical communication cost is 4 classical bits. However, in some special cases, the secret states are chosen from a special ensemble, the success probability of our scheme can be increased to 50% or even to 100% (deterministic) after consuming some extra classical bits.
