• Abstract: A quantum information-theoretic primitive is introduced for determining a discrete-valued function that depends on multiple parties' local private inputs. The primitive permits the parties to mutually learn each others' local inputs, and thereby determine function values, while their individual systems remain independent of these inputs. The resulting function values are shared among the parties, but may remain information-theoretically hidden from any external observer, as well as from adversarial state-preparation or measurement processes within the quantum system, in every iteration. In particular, while classically producing a shared function with these information-theoretic properties requires the use of private keys or hidden randomness, in the proposed setting it is achieved using quantum resources alone. I outline the primitive's general properties while applications across a broad range of secure quantum communication and computation settings including: quantum key distribution, multi-party coordination and decision schemes, function evaluation, and in some settings, protocols for fairly generated private coins, are relegated to further publications.
