I present a variety of results on the theory of quantum secret sharing. I show that any mixed state quantum secret sharing scheme can be derived by discarding a share from a pure state scheme, and that the size of each share in a quantum secret sharing scheme must be at least as large as the size of the secret. I show that the only constraints on the existence of quantum secret sharing schemes with general access structures are monotonicity (if a set is authorized, so are larger sets) and the no-cloning theorem. I also discuss some aspects of sharing classical secrets using quantum states. In this situation, the size of each share can sometimes be half the size of the classical secret.

  1. Impossibility of superluminal signalling rules out causal loops in conical spacetimes

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    In conical spacetimes with d>1, NSS prohibits operationally detectable causal loops across classical, quantum and post-quantum theories, unlike the (1+1) case.
