* '''Failure:''' At most <math>t < n/3</math> (synchronous) or <math>t < n/4</math> (asynchronous) players show Byzantine failures. The Byzantine failed players are allowed to behave arbitrarily and collude to try and prevent the honest players from reaching agreement. The most severe model is used: Byzantine failures are adaptive, computationally unbounded and have full-information (full information of quantum states is modeled by giving a classical description of the state to the adversaries). Failures on the communication channels are not considered.

*Benchmark values: The number of qubits <math>q</math> required is precisely known for a finite instance of the protocol. This is calculated in [[Quantum Byzantine Agreement#References|(1)]] for <math>n = 5</math>. They pick the smallest possible security parameter <math>k = 2</math> (of the VQSS scheme) and start calculating the required resources. Summarizing they find that each node requires <math>\sim 200</math> operational qubits, on which quantum circuits of depth <math>\sim 2000</math> must be run. The consumed number of Bell pairs is 648 and the total classical communication cost is 21240 bits. It is not entirely clear if these are the expected costs or the cost per round.
