This addresses a fundamental limitation in cryptography for secure information distribution, though it appears incremental as it builds on known quantum codes.
The paper demonstrates that quantum stabilizer codes can implement secret sharing access structures that are impossible with classical methods, given constraints on share sizes.
We show a simple example of a secret sharing scheme encoding classical secret to quantum shares that can realize an access structure impossible by classical information processing with limitation on the size of each share. The example is based on quantum stabilizer codes.
