"Quantum Channel Masking" 

Abstract: Quantum masking is a special type of secret sharing in which some information gets reversibly distributed into a multipartite system, leaving the original information inaccessible to each subsystem. I will introduce quantum channel masking as an extension to quantum state masking. In channel masking,  the identity of a channel is hidden locally but remains globally accessible after its output is sent through a bipartite broadcasting channel. I will discuss our characterization of maskable channels and implications of this phenomenon.
