description Abstract With the rapid advancement of information technology, data sharing has become increasingly accessible, leading to a heightened need for robust personal data protection. One important application in privacy-preserving computing is the aggregation of information when collaboratively establishing AI models through public distributed networks. To counter the threat posed by quantum computing to encrypted data, various quantum private summation (QPS) protocols have been proposed thus far. However, some of these existing protocols operate solely under modulo 2, while other approaches for modulo d often rely on impractically high-dimensional qudits. Therefore, this study proposes an innovative multiparty QPS method that balances participant data sharing and privacy without requiring high-dimensional photons. The proposed QPS protocol enables participants to contribute aggregated information to third parties without disclosing individual data. A security analysis further demonstrates that the proposed QPS effectively counters common eavesdropping attacks, ensuring reliable protection of personal data.
