Abstract

Recently, Ye and Ji constructed a multi-party quantum private comparison (MQPC) protocol with Bell entangled states (Sci. China Phys. Mech. Astron. 60(9), 090312, 2017). However, this protocol is only workable over an ideal quantum channel. In this paper, we take the collective noise channel into account and generalize Ye and Ji’s protocol into the ones against the collective-dephasing noise and the collective-rotation noise, respectively. Concretely, we use three-qubit entangled states instead of Bell states as the initial quantum states and employ the corresponding logical qubits immune to the collective noise instead of the physical qubits as the travelling particles. The output correctness and the security of the proposed robust MQPC protocols can be guaranteed.
