A quantum secure direct communication protocol with cluster states is proposed.Compared with the deterministic secure quantum communication protocol with the cluster state proposed by Yuan and Song(Int.J.Quant.Inform.,2009,7:689),this protocol can achieve higher intrinsic efficiency by using two-step transmission.The implementation of this protocol is also discussed.
Two simple quantum broadcast communication schemes are proposed. A central party can broadcast his secret message to all the legitimate receivers simultaneously. Compared with the three schemes proposed recently （Wang et al. 2007 Chin. Phys. 16 1868）, the proposed schemes have the advantages of consuming fewer quantum and classical resources, lessening the difficulty and intensity of necessary operations, and having higher efficiency.
We present a quantum secret sharing protocol against collective-amplitude-damping noise. Each logical qubit is encoded in two qubit noiseless states. So it can function over such a noisy channel. The two agents encode their messages on each logical qubit only by performing a permutation operation on two physical qubits. Although each logical qubit received by each agent only carries a bit of information, the boss Alice can read out her agents' information by discriminating two orthogonal states by performing single-qubit measurements assisted by local operation and classical communication (LOCC).

We present an efficient scheme for undeniable five-party quantum state sharing(FQSTS) of an arbitrary single-atom state with a five-atom cluster state in cavity QED.The implementation of this scheme does not involve the joint-state measurement of multi-atoms,which makes it convenient in a practical application.The scheme is also insensitive to the cavity decay and the thermal field.
