Abstract

We present an innovative and extremely efficient scheme to share an arbitrary multi-qubit state between n agents with only 1 GHZ channel under control of m agents in a network. Compared with existing ones in this literature, our scheme requires less communication resources, least qubits and only three physical favorable simple operations (single-qubit measurement, Bell-basis measurement and CNOT gate operations) are included, leading to a higher overall efficiency.
