Multiparty weighted threshold quantum secret sharing based on the Chinese remainder theorem to share quantum information

Abstract Secret sharing is a widely-used security protocol and cryptographic primitive in which all people cooperate to restore encrypted information. The characteristics of a quantum field guarantee the security of information; therefore, many researchers are interested in quantum cryptography and...
