Abstract
Connecting quantum computers to a quantum network opens a wide array of new applications, such as securely performing computations on distributed data sets. Near-term quantum networks are noisy, however, and hence correctness and security of protocols are not guaranteed. To study the impact of noise, we consider a multiparty summation protocol with imperfect shared entangled states. We study analytically the impact of both depolarising and dephasing noise on this protocol and the noise patterns arising in the probability distributions. We conclude by eliminating the need for a trusted third party in the protocol using Shamir's secret sharing.
