Blind quantum computation (BQC) enables a client with less quantum computational ability to delegate her quantum computation to a server with strong quantum computational power while preserving the clients privacy. Generally, many-qubit entangled states are often used to complete BQC tasks. But for a large-scale entangled state, it is difficult to be described since its Hilbert space dimension is increasing exponentially. Furthermore, the number of entangled qubits is limited in experiment of existing works. To tackle this problem, in this paper we propose a universal BQC protocol based on measurement with minor resources, where the trap technology is adopted to verify correctness of the servers measurement outcomes during computation and testing process. In our model there are two participants, a client who prepares initial single-qubit states and a server that performs universal quantum computation. The client is almost classical since she does not require any quantum computational power, quantum memory. To realize the clients universal BQC, we construct an $mtimes n$ latticed state composed of six-qubit cluster states and eight-qubit cluster states, which needs less qubits than the brickwork state. Finally, we analyze and prove the blindness, correctness, universality and verifiability of our proposed BQC protocol.
Blind quantum computation (BQC) allows that a client who has limited quantum abilities can delegate quantum computation to a server who has advanced quantum technologies but learns nothing about the clients private information. For example, measurement-based model can guarantee privacy of clients inputs, quantum algorithms and outputs. However, it still remains a challenge to directly encrypt quantum algorithms in circuits model. To solve the problem, we propose GTUBQC, the first gate teleportation-based universal BQC protocol. Specifically, in this paper we consider a scenario where there are a trusted center responsible for preparing initial states, a client with the ability to perform X, Z, and two non-communicating servers conducting UBQC (universal BQC) and Bell measurements. GTUBQC ensures that all quantum outputs are at the clients side and the client only needs to detect whether servers honestly return correct measurement outcomes or not. In particular, GTUBQC can hide the universal quantum gates by encrypting the rotation angles, because arbitrary unitary operation can be decomposed into a combination of arbitrary rotation operators. Also, GTUBQC protocol can facilitate realizing UBQC in circuits, since GTUBQC uses one-time-pad to guarantee blindness. We prove the blindness and correctness of GTUBQC, and apply our approach to other types of computational tasks, such as quantum Fourier transform.
Certain physical systems that one might consider for fault-tolerant quantum computing where qubits do not readily interact, for instance photons, are better suited for measurement-based quantum-computational protocols. Here we propose a measurement-based model for universal quantum computation that simulates the braiding and fusion of Majorana modes. To derive our model we develop a general framework that maps any scheme of fault-tolerant quantum computation with stabilizer codes into the measurement-based picture. As such, our framework gives an explicit way of producing fault-tolerant models of universal quantum computation with linear optics using protocols developed using the stabilizer formalism. Given the remarkable fault-tolerant properties that Majorana modes promise, the main example we present offers a robust and resource efficient proposal for photonic quantum computation.
In blind quantum computation (BQC), a client delegates her quantum computation to a server with universal quantum computers who learns nothing about the clients private information. In measurement-based BQC model, entangled states are generally used to realize quantum computing. However, to generate a large-scale entangled state in experiment becomes a challenge issue. In circuit-based BQC model, single-qubit gates can be realized precisely, but entangled gates are probabilistically successful. This remains a challenge to realize entangled gates with a deterministic method in some systems. To solve above two problems, we propose the first hybrid universal BQC protocol based on measurements and circuits, where the client prepares single-qubit states and the server performs universal quantum computing. We analyze and prove the correctness, blindness and verifiability of the proposed protocol.
Measurement based quantum computation (MBQC), which requires only single particle measurements on a universal resource state to achieve the full power of quantum computing, has been recognized as one of the most promising models for the physical realization of quantum computers. Despite considerable progress in the last decade, it remains a great challenge to search for new universal resource states with naturally occurring Hamiltonians, and to better understand the entanglement structure of these kinds of states. Here we show that most of the resource states currently known can be reduced to the cluster state, the first known universal resource state, via adaptive local measurements at a constant cost. This new quantum state reduction scheme provides simpler proofs of universality of resource states and opens up plenty of space to the search of new resource states, including an example based on the one-parameter deformation of the AKLT state studied in [Commun. Math. Phys. 144, 443 (1992)] by M. Fannes et al. about twenty years ago.
Blind quantum computation allows a client without enough quantum technologies to delegate her quantum computation to a remote quantum server, while keeping her input, output and algorithm secure. In this paper, we propose a universal single-server and almost-classical-client blind quantum computation protocol. In this protocol, the client interfaces with only one server and the only ability of the client required is to get particles from the trusted center and forward them to the server. We present an analysis of this protocol and modify it to a universal single-server and fully-classical-client blind quantum computation protocol by improving the ability of the trusted center. Based on our protocols and recent works, a new Cloud + Certificate Authority (CA) style is proposed for the blind quantum computation.
