Abstract

The quantum digital signature (QDS) is a quantum communication technology that distributes authentication keys to candidates of message recipients who will confirm if a message received afterward is the legitimate one, referring to the authentication keys. Although accommodating many recipients may be one of the significant QDS system performances, conventional QDS protocols seem indifferent to this issue. In this study, we investigate the number of accommodable recipients in recently proposed differential-phase-shift (DPS) QDS and differential-quadrature-phase-shift (DQPS) QDS systems. They are unique QDS protocols in which quantum signals are broadcasted to all recipients simultaneously, and there is no post data-processing between the sender and recipients, which is favorable to accommodate a large number of recipients. We analyze the system conditions required to satisfy the QDS criteria, and evaluate the maximum number of recipients. The results indicate that around 100 recipients can be accommodated in a 100-km transmission system.
