A question that has been asked at QIRG meetings a few times is whether quantum communication can also be anonymous. In this theme I saw an article on the arXiv today that I thought would be interesting for the QIRG: Anonymous and secret communication in quantum networks<https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.08722>. This is an experimental demonstration of the anonymous conference key agreement protocol proposed in "Anonymous Quantum Conference Key Agreement"<https://journals.aps.org/prxquantum/abstract/10.1103/PRXQuantum.1.020325>. It is also worth noting that multipartite entanglement is key to this protocol.

Best regards,
Wojtek
