Abstract  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.
