• Title: Quantum steering as a resource for secure tripartite Quantum State Sharing
• Authors: Cailean Wilkinson, Matthew Thornton and Natalia Korolkova
• Abstract summary: Quantum State Sharing (QSS) is a protocol by which a (secret) quantum state may be securely split, shared between multiple potentially dishonest players, and reconstructed. We analyse a QSS protocol involving three untrusted players and demonstrate that quantum steering is the required resource which enables the protocol to proceed securely.

• Abstract: Quantum State Sharing (QSS) is a protocol by which a (secret) quantum state may be securely split, shared between multiple potentially dishonest players, and reconstructed. Crucially the players are each assumed to be dishonest, and so QSS requires that only a collaborating authorised subset of players can access the original secret state; any dishonest unauthorised conspiracy cannot reconstruct it. We analyse a QSS protocol involving three untrusted players and demonstrate that quantum steering is the required resource which enables the protocol to proceed securely. We analyse the level of steering required to share any single-mode Gaussian secret which enables the states to be shared with the optimal use of resources.
