Some specific comparisons between our scheme and another probabilistic scheme are made. It is found that, if the product of the two minimal coefficients characterizing channel entanglements is greater than 3\/16, our scheme is more superior than the other one. Nonetheless, the price is that more classical and quantum resources are consumed, and the operation difficulty is rather increased. Moreover, some important features of the scheme, such as its security, probability and sharer symmetry, are revealed through concrete discussions. Additionally, the experimental feasibility of our scheme is analyzed and subsequently confirmed according to the current experimental techniques.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e17020841","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,12]],"date-time":"2015-02-12T12:08:24Z","timestamp":1423742904000},"page":"841-851","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Probabilistic Three-Party Sharing of Operation on a Remote Qubit"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Chuanmei","family":"Xie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics & Material Science, Anhui University, Hefei 230039, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yimin","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Shaoguan University, Shaoguan 512005, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hang","family":"Xing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics & Material Science, Anhui University, Hefei 230039, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhanjun","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics & Material Science, Anhui University, Hefei 230039, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"661","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevLett.67.661","article-title":"Quantum cryptography based on Bell\u2019s theorem","volume":"67","author":"Ekert","year":"1991","journal-title":"Phys.
