TRIPARTITION OF ARBITRARY SINGLE-QUBIT QUANTUM INFORMATION BY USING ASYMMETRIC FOUR-QUBIT W STATE

In this paper we propose a four-party scheme for a sender to achieve the tripartition of his/her arbitrary single-qubit quantum information among three recipients via an asymmetric four-qubit W state as quantum channels. In the scheme, if and only if, the three recipients cooperate together, they can perfectly retrieve the sender's quantum information by performing first two 2-qubit collective unitary operations and then a single-qubit unitary operation. The scheme is symmetric with respect to the reconstruction for any recipient can conclusively recover the quantum information with the other two's helps.
