Multiparty delegated quantum computation (MDQC) allows multiple clients with limited quantum capability to jointly complete a quantum computational task with the aid of an untrusted quantum server. But in existing MDQC protocols, the verifiability that clients should verify whether the server executed the protocol correctly and gave correct results was not handled. Therefore, in this paper, we improve a typical MDQC protocol to enable clients to verify the correctness of computation by inserting trap qubits and develop a novel method to enforce clients to send qubits honestly while avoiding the positions of trap qubits being leaked to the server. The security and verifiability of the improved MDQC protocol are also analyzed. In addition, a specific example of the proposed verifiable MDQC protocol is given and simulated on IBM’s quantum platform.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
