Quantum teleportation of shared quantum secret

Quantum teleportation allows to transfer unknown quantum states between distant parties. It is not only a primitive of quantum communications but also an essential task in realization of the quantum networks for promising applications such as quantum cryptography and distributed quantum computation. Despite recent substantial progresses in the realization of quantum communications, teleportation of shared quantum information between multiple senders and receivers is still missing. Here we propose and experimentally demonstrate quantum teleportation among spatially separate parties in a quantum network. The protocol can be jointly performed by distributed participants, while none of them can fully access the transferred information. It can be generally extended to quantum communications incorporating an arbitrary number of parties without a trusted central node. Our work opens a route to the realization of distributed quantum communications and computations in quantum networks
