Quantum Secure Direct Communication with Quantum Memory

Wei Zhang, Dong-Sheng Ding, Yu‐Bo Sheng +3 more

Quantum communication provides an absolute security advantage, and it has been widely developed over the past 30 years. As an important branch of quantum communication, quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) promotes high security and instantaneousness in communication through directly transmitting messages over a quantum channel. The full implementation of a quantum protocol always requires the ability to control the transfer of a message effectively in the time domain; thus, it is essential to combine QSDC with quantum memory to accomplish the communication task. In this Letter, we report the experimental demonstration of QSDC with state-of-the-art atomic quantum memory for the first time in principle. We use the polarization degrees of freedom of photons as the information carrier, and the fidelity of entanglement decoding is verified as approximately 90%. Our work completes a fundamental step toward practical QSDC and demonstrates a potential application for long-distance quantum communication in a quantum network.

Software Security and Quantum Communication: A Long-distance Free-space Implementation Plan of QSDC Without Quantum Memory

Yew Kee Wong, Yifan Zhou, Zi Yan Li +2 more

Software security is crucial to ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of software systems and applications. However, conventional cryptographic methods based on mathematical assumptions are vulnerable to various attacks, especially in the era of quantum computing. Therefore, there is a need for a new paradigm of software security that can resist quantum threats. This paper proposes a novel approach to using Long-Distance Free-Space Quantum Secure Direct Communication (LF QSDC) to enhance software security. LF QSDC is a quantum communication protocol that enables two parties to exchange secret messages directly without relying on a pre-shared key or quantum error correction. Our research delves into integrating LF QSDC into software security, emphasizing its practicality for long-distance communication through the use of memory DL04 protocol, Machine Learning Enhanced JEEC, and PAT Technologies. By adopting this approach, we reinforce security for global software security and ensure their sustainability in an era where both quantum and advanced classical threats coexist side by side. Thus, LF QSDC emerges as a future-proof security mechanism highly applicable to software security systems.

Free-Space Quantum Secure Direct Communication: Basics, Progress, and Outlook

Dong Pan, Xiaotian Song, Gui‐Lu Long

Quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) leverages quantum states to transmit information securely and reliably over a noisy, lossy, and wiretapped quantum channel. It has been proven to be information-theoretically secure. Recent experiments show that QSDC can enable long-distance communication and large-scale networking with existing technologies. In particular, free-space QSDC has the unique advantages and prospects for practical large-scale application. Here, we review the QSDC basics and the progress of free-space QSDC. The feasibility of satellite-based QSDC and the future directions of free-space QSDC are discussed. We propose a practical and feasible route that can make immediate application of QSDC in real life.
