Abstract

Quantum secret sharing plays an important role in quantum cryptography. In this paper, we propose a new general quantum secret sharing scheme based on access structure and monotone span program. In our scheme, the secret distributor first distributes the secret share according to the access structure, and then each participant in the authorization set hides their secret share in the qubits, and then transmits each qubit safely performed on unitary transformation. Compared with the existing quantum secret sharing schemes, our scheme is more flexible, general and less computational cost in practical applications.
