Quantum voting protocols based on the non-symmetric quantum channel with controlled quantum operation teleportation

In the paper, we present a kind of quantum voting protocol, which is based on controlled quantum teleportation of local unitary operations in non-symmetric quantum channel. In this protocol, the umpire CA with zero knowledge proof quantum identity authentication ensures voter’s anonymous identity authentication. The counting institution Bob generates a high-dimensional Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger entangled state to establish a high-dimensional quantum communication channel. Performing the local unitary operation on their low-dimensional quantum ballot, voter’s quantum vote is teleportated by asymmetric matrix measurement and scrutineer Charlie auxiliary measuring. With the scrutineer Charlie’s help, Bob achieves the voting result by the output of unitary operation. Compared with other general quantum operation teleportation quantum voting protocol, the protocol utilizes the quantum information and transmission of quantum channel, which have different dimensions, so single particle information cannot be stolen, and can prevent forgery. The electoral process is fair and undeniable, owing to Charlie’s supervision. Since the success probability of quantum teleportation of local unitary operations is 1, the quantum voting is reliable.
