Dynamic hierarchical quantum secret sharing protocol based on high-dimensional GHZ state by CHEN Keqin, ZOU Zheng, CAI Binbin, LIN Song

“…Moreover, each participant was able to obtain the shared secrets at lower layers, but not those at higher layers. In addition to the realization of the hierarchical structure, the proposed protocol also allowed each layer to dynamically add or delete multiple participants without changing the shares held by original participants, which provided better flexibility and generality. …”
