Assisted by multipartite entanglement,Quantum information may be split so that the original qubit can be reconstructed if and only if the recipients cooperate.This paper proposes an experimentally feasible scheme for splitting quantum information via W-type entangled states in cavity QED systems,where three-level Rydberg atoms interact with nonresonant cavities.Since W-type states are used as the quantum channel and the cavities are only virtually excited,the scheme is easy to implement and robust against decoherence,and the dependence on the quality factor of the cavities is greatly reduced.
