Fully Device-Independent Model on Quantum Networks

Abstract: Bell inequality can provide a useful witness for device-independent applications with quantum (or post-quantum) eavesdroppers. This feature holds only for single entangled systems. Our goal is to explore device-independent model for quantum networks. We firstly propose a Bell inequality to verify the genuinely multipartite nonlocality of connected quantum networks including cyclic networks and universal quantum computational resources for measurement-based computation model. This is further used to construct new monogamy relation in a fully device-independent model with multisource quantum resources. It is finally applied for multiparty quantum key distribution, blind quantum computation, and quantum secret sharing. The present model can inspire various large-scale applications on quantum networks in a device-independent manner.
