Quantum blind signature combines the advantages of classical blind signature and quantum signature, which can ensure the unconditional security of the scheme based on the realization of the blinded signature of the message, and can be effectively applied in many real-world scenarios. This paper uses the four-particle <span><math altimg=\"eq-00003.gif\" display=\"inline\" overflow=\"scroll\"><mi>χ</mi></math></span><span></span> state as a communication channel, combined with quantum teleportation technology to propose a new quantum multi-party blind signature protocol, which has the following characteristics: First, the Toeplitz hash function based on the linear shift register is introduced to blind the message, and the length of the blinded message can be adjusted according to the actual demand to increase the flexibility of the scheme; Second, through multi-party participation, the blind signature of multi-bit messages can be realized, and the signature efficiency can be improved. Compared with other quantum blind signatures, the signature efficiency has been greatly improved; Finally, using the four-particle <span><math altimg=\"eq-00004.gif\" display=\"inline\" overflow=\"scroll\"><mi>χ</mi></math></span><span></span> state as a quantum channel can make the scheme use fewer resources to transmit data and increases the security of the scheme.

The key step of the proposed tomography approach is to employ the ELM to approximate the complex mapping between the measurement values sequence and the real density matrix. After obtaining the output of the ELM-based estimator, a matrix transformation technique is used to make the network outputs satisfy quantum state constraints. Compared with deep learning-based tomography approaches, our proposed ELM-based approach enables both high-fidelity and high-efficiency quantum state tomography with only one training process under the condition of very few numbers of training samples, network layers and hidden layer nodes. In addition, the proposed tomography approach is robust to noisy measurement values, since the ELM-based estimator is quite lightweight. Simulations on the tomography of eigenstates, superposition states and mixed states are presented to verify our theoretical findings. Also, the superiority of the ELM-based tomography approach is demonstrated in comparison with that based on the radial basis function network, convolutional neural network and maximum likelihood estimation approach.</p>","PeriodicalId":51058,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Quantum Information","volume":"298 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140071947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
