Abstract

In this paper, we proposed an efficient single-state three-party quantum key agreement (QKA) protocol. We proved that the protocol can resist potential outside attacks and inside attacks, and we generalized the efficient single-state three-party QKA scheme into the case of the N-party by substituting N-particle entangled state for three-particle entangled state as the resource quantum states. Compared with the previous QKA protocols, our scheme contains the good features of previous schemes, i.e., using one kind of maximally entangled states as the quantum resource, no requirements for pre-shared key between different participants, and no requirements for executing any unitary operations or quantum entanglement swapping. Furthermore, our scheme has significant improvements in terms of the times of quantum states transmission, the consumed qubits, and the qubit efficiency. In particular, as the number of participants increases, the number of qubits required by our scheme increases linearly rather than exponentially.
