More Details: Currently most progress on quantum secret sharing suffers from rate-distance bound, and thus the key rates are limited. In addition to the limited key rate, the technical difficulty and the corresponding cost together prevent large-scale deployment. Furthermore, the performance of most existing protocols is analyzed in the asymptotic regime without considering participant attacks. Here we report a measurement-device-independent quantum secret-sharing protocol with improved key rate and transmission distance. Based on spatial multiplexing, our protocol shows it can break rate-distance bounds over network under at least ten communication parties. Compared with other protocols, our work improves the secret key rate by more than two orders of magnitude and has a longer transmission distance. We analyze the security of our protocol in the composable framework considering participant attacks and evaluate its performance in the finite-size regime. In addition, we investigate applying our protocol to digital signatures where the signature rate is improved more than 10^{7} times compared with existing protocols. We anticipate that our quantum secret-sharing protocol will provide a solid future for multiparty applications on the quantum network.
