Abstract
An efficient four-party scheme is proposed for remotely sharing an arbitrary single-qubit operation by using a six-qubit cluster state as quantum channel and local operation and classical communication. Some specific discussions are made, including the issues of the scheme determinacy, the sharer symmetry, the scheme security and the essential role of quantum channel as well as the current experimental feasibility.
