In distributed computing, a byzantine fault is a condition where a component shows different symptoms to different components of the system. Consensus among the correct components in the presence of byzantine faults can be reached by appropriately crafted communication protocols. Quantum-aided protocols built upon distributed entangled quantum states are worth considering, as they are more resilient than traditional ones. Based on earlier ideas, we introduce a parameter-dependent family of quantum-aided weak broadcast protocols. We analyze the resource requirements as functions of the protocol parameters, and locate the parameter range where these requirements are minimal. Following earlier work demonstrating the suitability of noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices for the study of quantum networks, we show how to prepare our resource quantum state on publicly available IBM quantum computers.
