In this brief, we present a novel quantum protocol for sealed-bid auction and design the corresponding quantum circuits. In the proposed protocol, we introduce two auctioneers to ensure that they can supervise each other, where one is a classical auctioneer, and the other is a quantum auctioneer. Furthermore, we turn sealed-bid auction into secure multiparty summation by employing the Chinese Remainder Theorem to achieve the anonymity. Compared with the related protocols, the proposed protocol can meet more security properties, e.g., anonymity, fairness, verifiability, secrecy and non-repudiation.
