Quantum information splitting of an arbitrary three-qubit state via the cavity input–output process

We propose a realizable quantum information splitting (QIS) scheme for an arbitrary three-qubit state via the cavity input–output process. In our scheme, a four-qubit cluster state and a three-qubit Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinge (GHZ) state are used as quantum channel. The sender and controller only need to perform Bell-state measurements and a single-qubit measurement, respectively. The receiver can reconstruct the arbitrary three-qubit state by classical communication and local operations. Compared with the scheme in Nie et al. [Optics Communications 284 (2011) 1457], the quantum resources and classical information in our scheme are decreased by 5 qubits and 1 bit, respectively. Moreover, we replace the W-state category measurement in the former with Bell-state measurements and a single-qubit measurement, which is more simple and feasible in experiment.
